Caitlin Clark Out for At Least Two Weeks with Quad Strain
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is set to miss at least two weeks due to a left quadriceps strain, an injury that will snap her impressive streak dating back to high school. This setback not only impacts her participation in upcoming games, including against the Washington Mystics, but also shifts the WNBA MVP odds, with Napheesa Collier now favored. The Fever, currently sitting at .500 in the standings, are expected to face challenges in her absence, as highlighted by fellow guard Kelsey Mitchell. Coach Stephanie White mentioned that this period could serve as an opportunity for both the team and other players to grow. Fans and analysts alike are reacting to the news, with the injury leading to significant drops in ticket sales for future games and sparking discussions about implications for the team moving forward.
