Caitlin Clark returned to full strength during Indiana Fever training camp warm-ups on April 18, 2026, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, exciting fans following an injury-plagued 2025 season. Now fully healthy and without restrictions, the two-time All-Star concentrated on shooting work and team drills ahead of the May 9 debut. Her presence raises high hopes for the Fever's playoff run.
Camp Kickoff Energy
Clark on the floor early and nailed shots before formal practice began on Sunday. Coach Stephanie White praised Clark's competitive edge while restricting her workload to avoid previous pitfalls—she played only 13 games last season, averaging 16.5 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists. Teammates like Aliyah Boston praised her characteristic smile and seamless transitions during stretches and runs. Everyone knows that the deep threes will return soon.
Injury Recovery Focus
Clark worked with trainer Maria Witte during the offseason to boost rehab by focusing recovery and pre-practice treatments. "Taking care of my body is the most important thing right now," she told reporters.
White indicated that they skip certain reps to assess wear, especially in April, before to the 44-game schedule. Despite limited action, Clark's 2025 shooting percentage is 36.7% and he makes 2.2 three-pointers per game.
