Caitlin Clark will miss at least the next two weeks of the 2025 WNBA season, the Indiana Fever announced Monday.

The former Iowa women’s basketball star suffered a quad strain. The news came two days after her team’s May 24 game against the New York Liberty.

“I don’t know when it happened,” Fever head coach Stephanie White said, according to the Indianapolis Star. “I know (after the Liberty game) we got a message that something was going on with her leg and they were getting an MRI, and then we got the word.”

Clark previously missed Indiana’s first preseason game because of an injury to the same left quad, but White said that this injury is a new one and not related. The former Hawkeye did not miss a game during her four-year college career and played every game as a WNBA rookie in 2024.

Clark is now expected to miss at least the team’s next four games: at the Washington Mystics on Wednesday, May 28; at home vs. the Connecticut Sun on Friday, May 30; at home vs. the Mystics on June 3, and vs. the Chicago Sky on Saturday, June 7.

Through four games, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year is averaging 19 points, 6.0 rebounds and 9.3 assists through the team’s 2-2 start.

“Certainly we’d rather have it early than late,” White said. “It’s a great opportunity for our team to find an identity. It’s a great opportunity for our team to play in a different way. And I also think it’s a great opportunity for Caitlin to watch the game from the sideline and to grow and almost like a coaching kind of mindset, and see some different things that we might be talking about on film, addressing in practice, to see it develop in live action.”
