## Fever Coach Sees Growth Opportunity for Caitlin Clark Despite Quad Injury
Caitlin Clark, the standout player for the Indiana Fever, faces a setback as she will miss at least two weeks with a quad injury. This will mark the first time at either the college or professional level that Clark is sidelined for regular season games due to an injury.
Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White emphasized that this absence offers a unique growth opportunity for Clark. She believes that by watching games from the sideline, Clark can develop a coaching mindset and gain a macro perspective on the game, allowing her to see it in a different light. This change in viewpoint is expected to not only enhance Clark’s individual performance but also contribute to the team’s overall development.
The Fever’s season has started with a 2-2 record, and they will face crucial matchups without Clark’s presence. The team will miss out on key games against the Washington Mystics, Connecticut Sun, and Chicago Sky. Clark’s potential return around June 10 could be pivotal for the season’s trajectory. The injury impacts not just Clark’s personal season but also the team’s strategy and competitive edge in the WNBA championship race.
