Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark said that she was focused on staying healthy this upcoming season after playing just 13 games last year. Taking care of my body at this point in the season is probably the most important thing, Clark said. Whether that's recovery, whether that's pre-court treatment, whatever it is. I think it's those type of things.
Clark dealt with a left quad strain, a left groin strain, a right groin injury, and a bone bruise in her ankle last year. Clark did not play after July 15. Clark added that she is now being very intentional about her activity. Very intentional about the things that I'm trying to do, Clark said. As a young person, you just grab your basketball shoes, and you're like, oh, let's just get up on the court and lace them up and go play. And that wasn't obviously something that was going to help me through the longevity of my career. Fever head coach Stephanie White added that Clark was heading in a positive direction during Team USA training camp over the offseason. She did such a great job of finding her spots of understanding time, space, rhythm, said White. All of her timing looked really good. It's hard when you're not playing to simulate that.
