The Indiana Fever announced their injury report on Wednesday, ahead of their game against the Chicago Sky. The Fever have two players on the injury report, including Caitlin Clark, who was listed as probable because of a back injury.
Clark has dealt with a sore back since missing a game against the Portland Fire on May 20. She has been on the injury report since the WNBA warned the Fever about their injury reporting. They ruled out Clark prior to tip-off even though she was not part of the injury report.
The Iowa product has been cleared to play despite being a regular on the Fever’s injury report. She has only missed one game so far this season and is close to surpassing her last season’s tally of 13 games.
The other player on the Fever’s injury report was Sophie Cunningham. She’s been listed as questionable with a right elbow injury. She could either get downgraded to out or upgraded to available before tip-off.

And finally, there has been some backlash from fans and analysts about Clark’s excessive complaining at the officials. It has been a constant source of frustration for some, especially if it affects her game and the entire Fever team.
