Why is Caitlin Clark wearing a leg sleeve and is she injured?

Caitlin Clark is wearing a leg sleeve as a fashion trend and for compression, not due to injury concern.

Why Clark Is Wearing the Sleeve

Caitlin Clark debuted a leg sleeve on her left leg at Indiana Fever practice on Monday, May 5. Fever coach Stephanie White confirmed the sleeve is purely a style choice, saying it looks good on Clark. Clark herself described it as just providing compression on the leg. The sleeve follows a recent incident where Clark hit her kneecap hard on the floor during a preseason game against the Dallas Wings on April 30, though she reported feeling fine immediately after.
