The Indiana Fever recently received some positive news regarding the injury of their star guard, Caitlin Clark. Clark had been sidelined since the game against the New York Liberty on May 24th, missing three consecutive matchups as a result. However, according to a report from ESPN’s Alexa Philippou, Clark herself stated that she is making progress in her recovery and is hopeful to return to action soon.
Philippou tweeted, “Caitlin Clark says she’ll be reevaluated this weekend and is making progress as she looks to return from her quad strain. Said playing Tuesday vs. Atlanta is a possibility but they’re going to go based on how she feels.”
Clark, speaking to Fever reporter Chloe Peterson, revealed that she initially felt pain after the Liberty game, and subsequent MRI confirmed the quad strain injury.
“Adrenaline covers up a lot of stuff when you’re in the heat of battle, and after the game, I had some pain, then we got an MRI, and it gave me the result I didn’t want to see,” Peterson tweeted.
Clark mentioned that she couldn’t pinpoint a specific play that led to the injury during the Liberty game. Indiana Fever is scheduled to face the Chicago Sky on Saturday before their upcoming game against the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday.
