Caitlin Clark Healthy for Fever Training Camp

The Indiana Fever opened training camp this week with star guard Caitlin Clark fully healthy and eager for her third WNBA season, following a 2025 campaign limited to just 13 games by multiple soft-tissue injuries including issues with her quad, groin, and ankle. Clark, the 2024 Rookie of the Year, shared confident insights during Wednesday's media day, emphasizing her role as the league's top transition player while calling for more support in ball-handling duties to sustain her performance over the 44-game schedule.

Clark averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, and five rebounds per game last season despite the absences, earning her second consecutive All-Star selection. Her injuries, which sidelined her before the All-Star break where she served as a captain in Indianapolis, also affected teammates like Sophie Cunningham, who suffered a season-ending torn MCL in August. With Clark and others out, forwards Aliyah Boston and guard Kelsey Mitchell shouldered much of the load, helping the Fever compile a 24-20 record. Indiana defeated the Atlanta Dream in the first round of the playoffs but fell to the Las Vegas Aces in a competitive five-game semifinal series.
