Fever star Caitlin Clark out at least 2 weeks with left quad strain

NDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will miss at least two weeks after straining her left quadriceps during Saturday’s 90-88 loss to the defending WNBA champion New York Liberty.

Coach Stephanie White told reporters Monday she wasn’t sure exactly when Clark was injured but was told after the game she had “something going on with her leg.”

An MRI confirmed the diagnosis. Clark’s absence could wind up being a big blow for one of the league’s title favorites.

“Obviously, she wants to play and, obviously, everyone wants to see her play,” White said following Monday’s practice. “But for me, it’s about maintaining perspective. It’s making sure that we address this that doesn’t affect the long term, that we take care of it and don’t overpush, don’t overexert.”

The progress WNBA has made in attracting fans, if the injury does not heal quickly.

Maybe they should tell their referees to call fouls more closely to protect all players. Obviously players can get injured without contact but in a few games I’ve seen there is a lot of knocking around that could be reduced.

2. Oh good grief

That quad bothered her before the preseason began. She’ll be back in a couple of weeks.
