Caitlin Clark says she's '100% healthy' as Fever begin training camp, plans to 'be smarter' in pushing herself

The Indiana Fever reported for 2026 training camp on Sunday and Caitlin Clark immediately addressed her status for the upcoming season. The star guard told reporters that she is “ 100% healthy ” after quad, groin and ankle injuries limited her to only 13 games last year. But Clark and Fever head coach Stephanie White have talked about being cautious with how many practice reps she goes through early on in training camp as she works her way back.

“I’m a person that doesn’t want to sit out a single rep, like I want to be in there every single time” Clark said, via the Indianapolis Star’s Brian Haenchen . “But I think just being a little bit smarter with my body… whether that’s recovery, whether that’s precourt treatment, whatever it is. ” Caitlin Clark on her #Fever return: “I was talking to (Stephanie White) a little bit, and I’m the person that doesn’t want to sit out a single rep.

I want to be in there every single time. … None of that has changed, but just being a little bit smarter with my body. …” pic.
