Caitlin Clark Catches Attention After Aliyah Boston’s Physical Play With Angel Reese originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Caitlin Clark has been out for the past week due to a quad injury, but that still doesn’t stop her from watching and cheering on her teammates from the sidelines.
The Iowa alum sustained a left quadriceps strain during a game against the New York Liberty on May 24. The team announced on May 26 that she would be sidelined for a minimum of two weeks, with her status to be re-evaluated thereafter.
While the team has managed to secure wins without her, her absence has been felt. Reports indicate a significant drop in betting interest on Fever games, highlighting her impact on fan engagement.
Despite not playing on the court, the 23-year-old athlete has remained very involved with the team during her recovery, providing vocal support from the sidelines and maintaining a leadership presence.
During Saturday’s game between the Fever and the Chicago Sky, cameras captured Clark’s happy reaction to Aliyah Boston’s play, which added two more points to the Fever’s score.
Boston is seen dribbling the ball and driving to the basket for a layup while Sky star Angel Reese defends. Boston gets past Reese to score and draws a shooting foul in the process. Then, the camera pans to Clark, who is seen screaming “Yeaaaaa!” after the play.
