The Indiana Fever will go up against the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday, June 10 at the Gateway Center Arena in College Park, Georgia. The game is going to be the part of the Commissioner's Cup. All eyes would be on star Caitlin Clark, whether she starts against the Dream or not.
Will Caitlin Clark start against Atlanta Dream?
According to Indiana Fever head coach, Stephanie White, Caitlin Clark will not be featuring in the encounter against the Atlanta Dream. This will mark her fifth game on the trot that she will be missing due to here quad injury. The Indiana Fever will be taking on the Atlanta Dream for the third time this season as Clarks featured in the last two games.
Fans across the WNBA are eagerly waiting to see their star return to the court, but for now, they are left speculating about when that might actually happen. Caitlin Clark sustained her injury on May 24 and the team announced the next day that she will be out for at least two weeks. That timeline has passed but Clark hasn't been able to fully recover. It now appears that her return may take longer than expected.
Stephanie White mentioned that Clark is making progress but the team are not taking any chances with her and are avoiding rushing her back. While she has been cleared to begin ramping up her activity, she is still not at her fully best. She has made a return to the practice but is still under limited participation.
After Tuesday's match against the Dream, the Fever have a four day break as they next host New York Liberty on Sunday. This break could prove pivotal as Clark has time on her hands to fully recover and make her much anticipated return to the court.

When the Indiana Fever dropped the first two games without Caitlin Clark, there were concerns about how they will cope without their star player. Fans voiced their frustration on the social media as the pressure mounted on White, her staff and the players to get back on track and start winning.
The arrival of Aari McDonald on a hardship contract proved to be the turning point. Her impact on the court helped Fever win back-to-back games, which further lifted the team's morale and gave them momentum. Due to this, the Indiana Fever are now seventh overall in the league and are third in the Eastern Conference with a 4-4 record through eight games.
