However, in Clark's third missed game on Tuesday night, the Fever looked much more composed and secured a much-needed 85-76 win over the Washington Mystics led by Kelsey Mitchell, improving their record to 3–4 on the season.
Now, with Clark just over a week into the minimum two-week recovery timeline, some notable news has emerged: she is scheduled to speak to the media on Thursday for the first time since the injury, where she is expected to provide an update on her rehab progress.
Fever/Pacers reporter Scott Agness reported, "Caitlin Clark is scheduled to speak with reporters on Thursday to provide an update on her status + recovery after being sidelined with a left quad strain the past three games."
Fans quickly reacted to the news, with all eyes now turning to Caitlin Clark as anticipation builds for her return to the court.

Through the four games she's played this season, Clark is averaging 19.0 points, 9.3 assists, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game, while shooting 40.3% from the field and 31.4% from beyond the arc.
This upcoming update is crucial, as it has now been nine days since Clark was ruled out with the injury. If her recovery continues on track, a return could be possible as early as next week.

Yankees scratch across late run to edge Royals 1-0, complete season sweep
Pablo Reyes stumbled, stopped and still scrambled home safely on a wild play in the eighth inning, taking advantage of a throwing error by reliever Lucas Erceg to give the New York Yankees a 1-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night. New York completed a three-game sweep to finish 6-0 against the Royals this season after eliminating them 3-1 in their best-of-five playoff series last October. Backed by some brilliant defense, Will Warren and four relievers combined on a five-hitter as the AL East-leading Yankees (42-25) moved a season-high 17 games over .500. They have the best road record in the majors at 21-13. Mark Leiter Jr. (4-3) got one out for the win, and Devin Williams earned his ninth save with a perfect ninth. He threw a called third strike past Jac Caglianone to end it, freezing the touted rookie with a full-count fastball. The game was interrupted by rain for 28 minutes in the top of the sixth. With two on and two outs in the eighth, Paul Goldschmidt lined a single off the glove of leaping first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino. He tracked down the ball behind him and threw to Erceg (1-2) covering first, but Goldschmidt beat the play. Reyes lost his balance coming around third, changed direction twice and then slid home safely when Erceg bounced his throw to the plate. Both starters pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings. Seth Lugo allowed just two hits, while Warren permitted four. Pasquantino extended his hitting streak to a career-high 12 games and his on-base streak to a career-best 27 games. New York rested Aaron Judge, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Austin Wells, who were a combined 7 for 23 with three homers and 10 RBIs in the first two games of the series. Key moments The Royals squandered two excellent chances to take their first lead of the series. In the second inning, they had runners on first and second with nobody out. In the fifth, they had a runner at third with one out. Key stat New York swept a season series from the Royals for the third time in their 57-year history. ...
