Indiana Fever Star Caitlin Clark Joins Non-Contact Drills Ahead Return

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is making progress in her recovery from a right groin injury that has sidelined her for over 20 games this season. Although she remains officially listed as out, Clark was seen participating in shootaround, including warmups and non-contact drills with the team's second unit, marking her first on-court activity with the team since the injury in mid-July. Coach Stephanie White has emphasized a cautious, day-to-day approach to Clark's rehabilitation, prioritizing her long-term health and aiming for a potential return before the regular season ends. Despite the positive signs, there is no confirmed timeline for her official return to game play, and she is expected to miss the upcoming game against the Minnesota Lynx. Fans and analysts alike are hopeful but cautious, recognizing the importance of Clark's health for the Fever's late-season playoff push. Clark's second WNBA season has been hampered by multiple injuries, including strains and groin issues, after a historic rookie year.
