Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has missed the team’s last five games with a left quad strain, but has been cleared to return to action on Saturday against the reigning champion New York Liberty — the same team she was injured against back on May 24.
“It’s definitely been a process,” Clark said on Friday of her rehab. “I think the hardest part is when you begin to feel really good, and then it’s just the process of working yourself back into actually getting up and down and getting out there with my teammates. And obviously that can be a little difficult, at the same time, when they’re prepping for their games that I’m not going to be available in.”
The Fever are 2-3 without Clark in the lineup, and 4-5 on the season, which has them in seventh place — five games behind the first-place Liberty, who are off to the best start in franchise history at 9-0. Will the Liberty stay perfect? Or will Clark and Co. hand them their first defeat?
