Head coach Stephanie White speaks with Caitlin Clark #22 of the Indiana Fever during the first quarter of a preseason game against the Atlanta Dream at Gateway Center Arena on May 10, 2025 in College Park, Georgia.

Overview

  • Indiana Fever announced that Clark will miss at least two weeks following a left quadriceps strain sustained in the 90-88 loss to the New York Liberty on May 24.
  • The injury marks the first regular-season games Clark has ever missed, ending her consecutive-games run through four college seasons and her rookie WNBA year.
  • Clark is slated to sit out at least four games—at Washington on May 28, versus Connecticut on May 30, at home against Washington on June 3 and at Chicago on June 7—before a scheduled medical re-evaluation on June 9.
  • Indiana will employ a point-guard committee with veterans Sydney Colson and Sophie Cunningham expected to absorb extra ball-handling duties alongside support from offseason additions like DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard.
  • Her absence heightens pressure on the 2-2 Fever to maintain momentum and has lengthened Clark’s MVP odds on ESPN BET, with Napheesa Collier now the favorite.
