Caitlin Clark healthy

Caitlin Clark opened Indiana Fever training camp on April 19 with no injury restrictions and a full bill of health entering her third WNBA season. (espn.com) Clark’s 2025 season ended after 13 games when the Fever ruled her out for the year on Sept. 4, citing a right groin injury and a later bone bruise during recovery. (fever.wnba.com) At camp this week, the focus shifted from rehab to workload management. ESPN reported Clark was “100% healthy,” while Hawkeyes Wire said she has been working on how to manage reps after last season’s soft-tissue injuries. (espn.com, usatoday.com) Indiana opens preseason play on April 25 against the New York Liberty and hosts the Dallas Wings on April 30, giving the Fever two tuneups before the regular season. (fever.wnba.com) The health update lands after a season when Clark’s absence reshaped Indiana’s plans. The Fever spent the offseason building around a roster that still lists Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell at its core under coach Stephanie White. (wnba.com, fever.wnba.com) Indiana is also selling a bigger performance infrastructure around that push. On April 9, the team unveiled renderings for a $78 million, 108,000-square-foot sports performance center it said will be the largest dedicated training facility in the WNBA. (fever.wnba.com) Clark’s return to full participation follows a winter in which she was back on the floor with USA Basketball. Reports from that camp said she was fully healthy and went on to help the Americans to a 5-0 record at the FIBA Women’s World Cup qualifying tournament. (sports.yahoo.com, sports.yahoo.com) Now the question is not whether Clark can practice in April, but whether Indiana can keep her available through a full 44-game season. The first clues will come in those preseason dates later this month. (youtube.com, fever.wnba.com)
