Clark Poised for Friday Return as Fever Manage Back Injury
Indiana Fever expect Caitlin Clark to potentially return Friday against the Golden State Valkyries after being sidelined with a back injury for Wednesday’s game; the team is taking a cautious approach for 2026. Clark previously played 31 minutes in the season opener after briefly consulting medical staff for back tightness and has posted strong early numbers (about 24.3 PPG, 9.0 APG, 5.0 RPG) as the Fever boast a higher net rating with her on the floor.
