Sideline Video of Fever's Caitlin Clark Turns Heads Amid Injury Absence originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Though the Indiana Fever were without star guard Caitlin Clark for the fourth straight game in Saturday's matchup with the Chicago Sky, but as it turns out, they didn't really need her.

The Fever ran away with a 79-52 win behind a 17-point performance from Kelsey Mitchell, plus 13 points from Natasha Howard and 12 points from Clark's replacement Aari McDonald as the team won its second straight game and pulled its record even at 4-4.
And while Indiana didn't have the benefit of Clark's expertise on the court, she did assist in another, equally valuable way.
X user @chrisclxrk posted a video of an animated Clark on the sideline coaching and firing up her teammates with the caption, 'Idc what she says this is a future head coach.'
The video caught the attention of several Fever fans, many of whom hit the comment section to express their thoughts on Clark as a future head basketball coach.
'And they are dialed into what she is saying. They all know. She is the one. Look at DB nodding her head in agreement. They all know,' one fan noted.

'🤔At some point long down the road Caitlin and Kate (Martin) will be Head Coach and assistant head coach at Iowa 😳😜😎,' another fan stated.
'She literally has this Veteran Team nodding in Agreement with What she was saying!!! She inspires Confidence in her teammates & they Believe what she is saying cuz she is Proof that it can be done, so they Do!' a third fan exclaimed.
'THIS IS A LEADER OF A TEAM YAW, EVEN WHEN SHE NOT ON THE COURT 💪 #CoachCC,' one user replied.
'I love how she's feels more comfortable being the voice in the locker room,' remarked another user.

There is some cautious optimism that Clark could be ready for the team's matchup against the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday.
'I think we're trying not to put an exact date out there because it is kind of a day-by-day thing and seeing how I feel,' Clark noted. 'With this type of injury, you don't know if I'll feel different than the day before and we'll see. It could be a possibility [to play against Atlanta] but I could also not be able to play in that game too.'

Noah Brown carted off field at Commanders minicamp. Jeremy Reaves gets extended, AP source says
Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown was carted off the field after getting injured during minicamp in Ashburn, Virginia, on Wednesday. It was not immediately clear what happened to cause the injury or its extent. Reporters in attendance reported Brown walked off slowly after making a catch, threw his helmet in frustration when he reached the sideline and was carted up the hill to the practice facility. Brown, who caught Jayden Daniels' desperation pass against Chicago for one of the Commanders' signature moments last season, missed the final four games of last season and their playoff run to the NFC championship game with a kidney injury. He re-signed on a one-year deal worth up to $4.5 million. Washington also took care of some longer-term business Wednesday, signing safety and special teams ace Jeremy Reaves to a one-year extension through the 2026 NFL season, according to a person with knowledge of the move. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team did not announce the deal. 'Grateful for the journey, the fans, this team and organization,' Reaves posted on social media. 'Much more in store!' Reaves, now 28, was an All-Pro selection on special teams in 2022. He missed the majority of 2023 after getting sidelined by a torn ACL five games into that season. ___ AP NFL:
