Caitlin Clark's participation in today's match against Brazil is under question due to injuries. Here's the injury report for the game happening in Iowa.
Catch the Indiana Fever's Homecoming Game!
Get ready for some electrifying basketball action as the Indiana Fever go head-to-head with Brazil at Iowa's Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday. This game brings a nostalgic vibe for the squad's second-year guard, Caitlin Clark, who was once a star player for the Hawkeyes.
However, the question remains: will Clark be on the court? She's currently listed as a game-time decision on the injury report, with a return date slated for May 10. While she missed the team's last game (a thrilling overtime win over the Washington Mystics) due to a lower leg injury, all signs suggest she may be ready to play tonight.
Clark's Injury and Upcoming Match-up
Though she sat out Saturday's preseason win over the Mystics, head coach Stephanie White expressed no long-term worries. White said Clark was eager to get back in the game despite her injury, and was actively involved on the bench, sharing defensive strategies and keeping her teammates engaged.
Clark's absence was precautionary, with the focus being on her long-term health before the regular season kicks off. Although she played through her injury during training camp and only missed two games during her college career (both due to a busted eardrum), it seems her current issue is relatively minor.
As for her Sunday plans, White expects Clark to be "good to go in the next 24 hours." In a video posted by the WNBA, Clark expressed her excitement about playing back in Iowa and sharing the sights of her beloved hometown with her teammates.
