Three-time WNBA MVP Lauren Jackson showers Caitlin Clark with praise despite the rookie’s ongoing injury absence.

Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, Maya Moore, Penny Taylor, Tina Thompson, and Sheryl Swoopes are just a few of the legendary athletes Jackson had as teammates over her long career in the WNBA, and yet she still has a deep admiration for what Clark is doing, on and off the court.

The Indiana Fever have yet to provide a firm timetable on Caitlin Clark 's return from injury. The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year missed her fifth straight game on Tuesday against the Connecticut Sun, which has already gone beyond the initial two-week timetable she was given.
