The Indiana Fever may be without their biggest star as the WNBA preseason begins.
The team announced on Friday that Caitlin Clark is "questionable" for Saturday's game against the Washington Mystics with a left leg injury. The team could just be taking a precautionary measure to make sure Clark is fully healthy as the season ramps up.
The Fever have two preseason games this weekend, opening with the Mystics at home on Saturday before an exhibition against the Brazilian national team at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, where Clark became a women's college basketball legend with Iowa, on Sunday.
