WNBA Makes Official Statement on Caitlin Clark in Fever-Sky Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports .

The Indiana Fever are without their star player, Caitlin Clark , in Saturday's marquee matchup against the Chicago Sky . The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year has been dealing with a quad injury, which has forced her to sit out four straight games.

Indiana got its first win without Clark on Tuesday against the Washington Mystics after losing back-to-back games. They are now looking to make a statement against the Sky as they aim to take down their biggest rival in this highly anticipated clash.

Since she won't be able to take the court, Clark has done whatever she can to support her teammates from the bench. This includes cheering them on and getting them ready for the battle ahead.

The WNBA posted a video of Clark hyping her teammates up just before tip-off.

"Caitlin Clark is officially on hype squad duty 🫡" the league posted on Instagram.

As the WNBA put it, Clark has "officially" been a team cheerleader amid her injury. The 23-year-old has been very active on the bench throughout the past several games as she continues to remain involved in the Fever's battles, albeit off the floor.

Apart from leading the hype squad, Clark has also been sitting with the coaching staff during games. Head coach Stephanie White wanted the former Iowa star to experience first-hand how coaches operate during games, and the All-Star guard has happily obliged .

Be that as it may, there's no denying that the Fever would love to get her back playing as soon as possible. According to Clark herself, this could come as early as the team's next game, which is on Tuesday against the Atlanta Dream .
