Indiana Fever fans are worried after star guard Caitlin Clark was ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Portland Fire due to back issues. Clark had been dealing with the issue in the last two games, but the Fever have not specified how long she will be out or the seriousness of her injury.
Clark had been averaging 24.3 points and 9 assists per game since her return to the court after spending most of last season on the bench nursing injuries. Her back issues first emerged in the first WNBA regular season game against the Dallas Wings, where she had to leave the court twice for back issues.
Fever coach Stephanie White had downplayed the injury after the game, saying Clark had adjusted her body and it was an ongoing issue. However, Clark's back issues seem to have worsened, leaving fans worried about her availability for the rest of the season.
