Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will be out at least two weeks with a left quad strain, the team announced Monday. Further updates will be provided following reevaluation. Coach Stephanie White said that she wasn't sure when the injury happened, but that Clark reported pain in her leg after the team's loss to New York on Saturday. Clark subsequently underwent an MRI and was diagnosed with the strain, although White said she did not know its grade. Clark is averaging 19 points and a league-best 9.3 assists through 4 games.
