Fever's Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham get major injury updates image

The Indiana Fever are a lot closer to full strength.

Caitlin Clark (quad) and Sophie Cunningham (ankle) have each missed a chunk of games for the Fever due to injuries. But they're both on the comeback trail.

The pair of starters were both participants in the portion of Indiana's practice on Monday that was open to the media.

Clark has missed four games with her left quad strain, while Cunningham has missed the last two contests with her right ankle sprain.

The Fever are coming off a resounding 30-point win over the Chicago Sky that they pulled off without their superstar in Clark or their exciting new free agent signee Cunningham.

Indiana will play Tuesday night in Atlanta against the Dream. Clark won't play, head coach Steph White told reporters.

The duo is clearly getting close to being back out there and helping the Fever push toward championship aspirations.
