Indiana Fever point guard Caitlin Clark is targeting a return to playing next week against the Atlanta Dream.
Clark told reporters that the quad strain she suffered in her left leg in a game against the New York Liberty will be re-evaluated over the weekend.
If all goes well, Clark could possibly go back to playing for the Fever against Atlanta on Tuesday.
The Fever have been a shell of themselves since Clark went down with the injury four games ago - having lost two of three contests.
After falling to the Liberty, the Fever struggled against the Washington Mystics before being defeated in a close game by the Connecticut Sun - which picked up their first and only win of the season so far.
Indiana then beat the Mystics in the WNBA Commissioner's Cup on Tuesday night.
Caitlin Clark could return to the floor next week after suffering a quad strain against New York
Since that injury against the Liberty, the Fever have struggled - losing two of three games
The injury has not kept Clark away from the sidelines as she's supported her teammates
Clark's absence has seen the Fever lose ground in the Eastern Conference standings - now four games back of the Liberty and two games behind the Dream.
Despite the injury, Clark has remained around the team on gamedays - seen courtside plenty of times.
Recently, she had to apologize due to an unexpected reaction from a large bouncy ball which inadvertently hit a fan.
In the video, Clark bounces the ball lightly on the Gainbridge Fieldhouse hardwood a few times before slamming it to the ground, expecting it just to go higher.
The ball launches several feet behind Clark and into the floor seating behind one of the baskets.
Clark runs over immediately trying to find the ball and apologizing profusely to the group of fans sitting in that section.
Before her potential return to the Fever, Clark will be missing one more game - a road matchup against rival Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.
