Caitlin Clark Prepares For Comeback Season As Indiana Fever Strengthen Roster
Caitlin Clark is entering her third WNBA season after her 2025 campaign was limited to 13 games due to a groin injury. She missed the playoffs, where Indiana was eliminated in a semifinal Game 5 by the Las Vegas Aces, who also went on to win the championship.
During training camp, Clark described the experience as “very isolating” and said it helped her learn how to be “the best teammate you can be.”
Indiana has made multiple roster moves ahead of the new season. Aliyah Boston signed a four-year, $6.3 million contract extension that is set to make her the highest-paid player in league history. The team also re-signed Sophie Cunningham to a one-year deal and added Monique Billings and Tyasha Harris in free agency.
