Caitlin Clark is trying to do anything she can to will her team to victory with her being out.

After being sidelined with an injury, Clark has now reached the timeframe she was expected to be out. Clark has been out for the past two weeks after she suffered a left quad strain during the Fever’s 90-88 loss to the New York Liberty on May 24.

The team said Clark would be out for a minimum of two weeks, meaning she would be eligible to return for the Fever’s road game against the Atlanta Dream on June 10. That did not happen.

The Indiana Fever were without Clark for the team’s fifth consecutive game. Clark was ruled out of Tuesday’s contest due to a left quadriceps strain she suffered in late May. Sophie Cunningham was also ruled out due to her right ankle.

Caitlin Clark was down but certainly not completely out.

At one point during the game, she was seen yelling at a ref and looking like a head coach more than an actual player while on the sidelines.

The Fever’s 77-58 loss to the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday dropped Indiana to 4-5 on the season and 2-3 without Clark.

The Dream are now 2-1 against the Fever to start the year.

“She like… “I’m in Coach Clark mode so you’re going to actually listen and reason with me okay bro?” another fan said.

“Watching this again. I’m crying 😭 She really looks like one of the coaches,” a third fan added.

“She should ask her coach why they are playing a SLOW Boring brand of offensive basketball,” a fourth fan said of Caitlin Clark.

“What’s hilarious is she knows more basketball than them sorry ass refs,” one final fan commented.
