Caitlin Clark, the rising star of the Indiana Fever, is nearing a return after a left quadriceps injury that has sidelined her since May 24. According to sources, she could be back as soon as next Tuesday when the Fever face the Atlanta Dream.

Clark has confirmed she will miss this weekend’s game against the Chicago Sky but will be re-evaluated afterward to determine her availability for Tuesday. She shared, “I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress and feel good, but I’m not going to rush back because it’s not worth it. After this weekend, I’ll be evaluated again, and we’ll have a clearer idea of when I can return.”

Before the injury, Clark was averaging 19.0 points, 9.3 assists, and 6.0 rebounds per game, leading the league in assists. This is her first missed game since high school, highlighting her importance to the team.

In her absence, the Indiana Fever have gone 1-2, including a recent win over the Washington Mystics. Her return is expected to boost the team’s performance, especially with a key matchup against the New York Liberty on June 14.

Fans and the team alike are hoping for her quick return, but Clark emphasized that the final decision will depend on medical evaluations and her physical readiness at that time.
