**Caitlin Clark is out for this reason**
In her latest video, Janna Liquidator said that Caitlin Clark is unlikely to play in the Indiana Fever’s upcoming game on Tuesday, due to some complicated roster factors.
The Indiana Fever recently had a dominant win over the Chicago Sky – a game that Chicago had little chance of beating, even without Caitlin Clark on the field. According to Janna, if anyone still thinks that Caitlin and Angel Reese are on the same level, this game proves otherwise.
Janna emphasized that Angel Reese is not at Caitlin Clark’s level yet, and that the Chicago Sky seem to be relying more on Camila Cardoso than Reese – who seems to be becoming a secondary player in the lineup.
Caitlin Clark told the media this week that she *could* return on Tuesday. However, according to a tweet from Ken Swift on Twitter, this won’t happen if Indiana wants to keep Ari McDonald. Specifically, if the team doesn’t have any other injured players besides Sophie, they will have to cut Ari’s contract to let Caitlin return.
Janna commented that Caitlin could be given an extra week off to fully recover before facing the New York Liberty. Meanwhile, Ari McDonald is showing impressive form: leading the WNBA in steals, averaging 9 points and 5 assists per game – despite only playing a few games. She is playing an extremely important role in the Fever’s winning streak.
Richard Cohen, a journalist who specializes in following the WNBA, shared that: Ari can only stay with the team if someone else is injured long-term or if the Fever waits to sign her officially. If they are forced to let her go, another team can quickly sign Ari – something Indiana certainly wants to avoid.
Returning to Caitlin Clark’s situation, WNBA legend Candace Parker also offered some comments. She said that Caitlin is in a good coaching environment under coach Tyler Marsh, and that she needs to continue to improve her ball handling and off-ball movement.
Although she is known for her long-range 3-point shooting, Caitlin also has great playmaking ability and tactical vision, although she sometimes makes mistakes that are common for young players under a lot of defensive pressure.
As for Angel Reese, Candace believes that she also has the potential to develop more in the future, but for now Caitlin is still on another level.
Finally, the video ends with a call for viewers to share their thoughts in the comments section, follow the next updates, and as usual, Janna ends with the familiar catchphrase: *“Shake the haters off.”*
