Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

The Indiana Fever will be without star guard Caitlin Clark for at least two weeks as she deals with a strained left quad.

The reigning Rookie of the Year was injured while playing against New York on Saturday. If Clark does end up returning in two weeks, that would put her on target to be back for the Fever’s rematch against New York on June 14.

She’d miss games at Washington, Chicago and Atlanta as well as home contests against Connecticut and Washington. The game on Wednesday against the Mystics was moved to the 14,000-seat CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore to accommodate a larger crowd. Capital One Arena in Washington wasn’t available because of summer renovations.

The game at Chicago on June 7 is being played in the United Center, home of the Bulls, and will be broadcast in primetime on CBS — the first ever for the network of a WNBA game.

It’s the first time in Clark’s career she’s missed a game after playing in all 40 games and both playoff games last season and the first four games this year. She did miss Indiana’s first preseason game this year with a leg injury.

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.

While Indiana has struggled to start the season going 2-2 in its first four games, last season’s WNBA Finals participants New York and Minnesota have gone undefeated so far. Both had to rally from double-digit deficits in their last games to remain unbeaten.

Injuries Take a Toll

Clark isn’t the only WNBA player sidelined early this season. Los Angeles has lost Rae Burrell (right leg injury) and Rickea Jackson (concussion). Phoenix is without star guard Kahleah Copper (knee). Washington lost rookie Georgia Amoore to an ACL injury before the season started.
