Fever vs. Sky: Caitlin Clark injury update, TV channel, time, how to watch Show Caption Hide Caption Caitlin Clark's quad injury could affect Fever for next two weeks Caitlin Clark will miss at least two weeks with a left quad strain. Indiana Fever fans may be worried, but Clark is confident in her teammates. Sports Seriously The Indiana Fever are gearing up to face the Chicago Sky for the second time this season, but they will be without superstar guard Caitlin Clark for the fourth consecutive game. Clark confirmed she won't suit up on Saturday when the Fever travel to Chicago to take on the Sky at the United Center, a matchup that will count toward the 2025 WNBA Commissioner's Cup standings. Clark is recovering from a left quad strain suffered in the Fever's loss to the New York Liberty on May 24 and was expected to be out for at least two weeks, meaning the earliest she could return to the lineup is Tuesday at Atlanta. The Fever are 1-2 in Clark's absence. Indiana dropped the first two games without Clark, but rebounded with an 85-76 win over the Washington Mystics on June 3. Kelsey Mitchell recorded a game-high 24 points in the win, tying her season high. Meanwhile, Chicago enters Saturday riding a two-game win streak after starting the season with four consecutive losses, including a season-opening 93-58 loss to the Fever on May 17. Angel Reese leads the league in rebounds per game (12.3), but the Sky will need to create more offense to keep their winning streak alive. Here's everything you need to know about the matchup: What time is Sky vs. Fever? Saturday's matchup between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky is set to tip off at 8 pm.
