Caitlin Clark won’t play Chicago Sky, Angel Reese at the United Center now

The Chicago Sky moved their June 7 matchup against the Indiana Fever from their home court at Wintrust Arena to the United Center in anticipation of another edition in the budding rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.

Fireworks were seen between the two second-year WNBA stars in their regular season opener on May 17 when Clark committed a flagrant 1 against Reese in the third quarter. Reese followed and shouted at Clark as she walked to the Fever bench.

Indiana wound up winning the contest 93-58.

Chicago was hoping for a better result in their rematch against the Fever on June 7.

That might happen, but Clark will not be on the court for Indiana in the matchup.

Caitlin Clark will not play the Chicago Sky on June 7

Per a statement by the Fever on Memorial Day, Clark suffered a quad injury and will not play for the next two weeks, which includes their June 7 contest against the Sky at the United Center.

Per the Fever:

“Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has suffered a left quadriceps strain and will be out a minimum of two weeks, the team announced today. Further updates will be provided, as available, following re-evaluation.”

The news is bad for WNBA fans hoping for an exciting rematch between Reese and Clark. Many fans think the WNBA will have lower ratings until Clark returns from the injury.

Clark’s injury is certainly bad news for the league and the contest on June 7. The United Center, which has a capacity of 23,500, won’t be filled to watch Reese and the Sky go against a Clark-less Fever team.
