Caitlin Clark Limited in Practice as Fever Cautious Ahead of Season

Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark is managing a left leg injury that has limited her participation in the team's 2025 training camp and preseason games. Clark missed the Fever's first preseason game but returned to play against the Brazilian national team, scoring 16 points with six rebounds and five assists, including notable long-range shots. Fever head coach Stephanie White emphasized a cautious approach to Clark's recovery, relying heavily on the training staff and allowing Clark's body to dictate her readiness. Despite the injury, Clark's performance and progress in practice have been positive signs for the team as they prepare for the regular season. The Fever, bolstered by new coach Stephanie White and veteran additions, have high aspirations for a playoff run but recognize the importance of having Clark at full strength. Clark's status for the upcoming preseason game against the Atlanta Dream will provide further insight into her readiness for the season opener against the Chicago Sky.
