Fever coach downplays Caitlin Clark's leg sleeve after injury scare ahead of season opener
Caitlin Clark left a preseason game early late last week after she fell awkwardly and drilled her knee.
Caitlin Clark’s leg sleeve is, apparently, nothing to worry about. The Indiana Fever star was spotted rocking a leg sleeve at practice on Monday, just days after she left a preseason game early due to an awkward fall. Leg sleeve Caitlin has entered the building pic.

” “It looks good on her, doesn’t it? ” White said about the sleeve, via the Indianapolis Star’s Chloe Peterson . Clark went down awkwardly and drilled her left knee cap in the team’s preseason loss to the Dallas Wings last week.
She drew a flagrant foul in the moment and remained in the game to shoot her free throws, but left soon after. She didn’t return, and then sat out of the second half of their preseason finale on Saturday. The Fever rolled to a 105-57 win over the Nigerian national team in that contest, however, so Clark’s presence wasn’t needed.
