Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark is set to make her highly-anticipated return to the court.
Clark has been cleared to return to the lineup after a left quad injury kept her sidelined for five games, officially ending her longest stretch missed due to injury in her collegiate or WNBA career. The Fever made the announcement on the team's social media accounts Friday, June 13.
Clark suffered the quad injury during the Fever's 90-88 loss to the New York Liberty on May 24. She was initially ruled out for at least two weeks, setting up her tentative return on June 10 against the Atlanta Dream, but the Fever ultimately decided to err on the side of caution with the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year.
Now, Clark is ready to play. She will suit up on June 14 as the Fever host the reigning champion Liberty. Indiana is getting back its leader in scoring (19 points per game) and assists (9.3); her assists per game average leads the league.
The Fever went 2-3 in Clark's absence and have a 4-5 record this season entering the game against New York.
