The star player for the Indiana Fever, Caitlin Clark, is set to return to the court this Wednesday against the Golden State Valkyries, after missing the last four games due to a groin strain. Clark expressed uncertainty about her playing time following an injury that sidelined her since June 24. In practice, she noted feeling good and is eager to rejoin her teammates. Coach Stephanie White also indicated her expectation of Clark’s participation, assuming no setbacks occur during recovery.

Clark’s absence was notable, as the Fever have struggled without her contributions. Averaging 18.2 points, 8.9 assists, and 5.0 rebounds, her return is crucial for a Fever team currently sitting at .500. Clark remains optimistic about her minutes but plans to take a cautious approach to avoid further injury. “It’s just nice to get back out there and feel the game with my teammates again,” she mentioned. Furthermore, she pointed out that playing hard and staying active is her focus on the comeback.

The Fever managed to win the Commissioner’s Cup during her absence, but they will undoubtedly benefit from Clark’s skills on the court moving forward as they navigate the remainder of the season.
