Caitlin Clark Had Three Words for Teammates After Fever Loss

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Robert Marvi | Last updated May 31, 2025 12:43 AM ET

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 10.2 points while shooting a very impressive 57.1% 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. She's also a capable 3-point shooter, and she was a first-team All-SEC selection three times in college while at 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.
