The Indiana Fever are entering the 2025-26 season with a healthy Caitlin Clark after the sharpshooter missed all but 13 games last season due to nagging soft-tissue injuries. The Fever community held its collective breath when Clark landed awkwardly in a preseason game, but Clark downplayed any concern.
“I feel good. I just landed on my kneecap really hard,” Clark said, via ESPN. “I know there’s a committee of people that really wanted them [the refs] to start calling things, and I thought they did a great job of that.
“Honestly, I thought the refs were great, and it’s preseason, so you’re probably going to see more fouls called. I expect that number to drop. But I think overall, it’s going to improve the product.”
Fans were worried again on Monday when Clark was seen at practice rocking a leg sleeve, but head coach Stephanie White assured reporters that the accessory was purely cosmetic, per Fever reporter Chloe Peterson.
Steph White also says “it’s a style thing” when asked why Caitlin Clark wore a leg sleeve in practice today.
“It looks good on her, doesn’t it?”

However, ahead of Sunday’s regular season opener, the Fever aren’t 100% healhty. White also gave an update on forward Monique Billings, who is dealing with an ankle injury.
White said that the team will continue to evaluate Billings day-to-day and that the franchise will “give her an opportunity to make sure she’s as close to 100% as possible.”
Indiana will face the Dallas Wings on Sunday in a matchup of the last four number one overall picks in the WNBA.
