Since then, Clark herself confirmed that it happened during their May 24 game against the New York Liberty, though she couldn't pinpoint the specific play when it happened . She reported some pain after the game and got an MRI, which showed a strain in her left quad.

Why didn't Caitlin Clark play against Atlanta?

Clark's original timeline was that she would be out for two weeks before she would be re-evaluated, setting her re-evaluation date at June 8.
