Caitlin Clark injured her quad several days ago, and as a result, she has sat out the Indiana Fever's last two games. She's expected to miss a total of about two weeks.

In a 40-game WNBA season, that could possibly cost the Fever home-court advantage deep into the playoffs. They have lost their first two games without her, including an 85-83 setback at the hands of the Connecticut Sun on Friday.
But Clark's spirits seem to be high despite her injury. A photo of her with teammates Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham was seen on Instagram, and she reposted it with a simple two-word message.
"Work wives," Clark wrote.

She also responded to a similar post on X.
"I wuv them," Clark wrote.
Hull, a 6-foot-1 guard out of Stanford, is part of an impressive young core that Indiana has put together. She has become a legitimate 3-point threat over the last year or two, and so far this season, she's averaging 9.8 points while shooting a very impressive 50.0% from 3-point range.

She was the No. 6 pick in the 2022 draft after winning a women's NCAA championship in 2021 at Stanford and making the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team twice.

Cunningham, who is also 6-foot-1, came to the Fever in a big trade back in February. The shooting guard was a three-time First Team All-SEC selection (2017-2019) back in Missouri.
After acquiring Cunningham and veteran All-Stars Natasha Howard and DeWanna Bonner this offseason, the Fever entered the new season with legitimate championship aspirations. They will have to find a way to tread water without Clark in order to keep their championship hopes alive and well.

LA County union workers arrested after interrupting Board of Supervisors meeting
Tensions over a recent contract battle between Los Angeles County and its workers spilled over at Tuesday's Board of Supervisors meeting. Several members of the Service Employees International Union, which represents the employees, were arrested when they refused to leave. "We're trying to send a message to the LA County Board of Supervisors," SEIU member Raymond Meza said. In late April, union workers staged a walkout that lasted several days. While talks have progressed since then, union leaders claim county officials are asking for unfair provisions. "The main sticking point is that the county wants to put in poison pills such as negotiating wages with us but having the unilateral ability to take it away," Meza said. "What is the point of doing this negotiation process if they can just undermine it whenever they want." The county said it's offering workers a fair deal that includes a $5,000 bonus, an additional bonus and cost-of-living adjustments. Supervisors said the county is going through one of the worst financial crises because of billions of dollars in sexual assault claims, the recent wildfires and the uncertain economic outlook. Union leaders said even with this offer the county is not bargaining in good faith. "After over 60 days without a contract, we want this settled now," Meza said.
