Overview
- Caitlin Clark said Sunday she is fully cleared and “100% healthy,” and coach Stephanie White outlined a plan to limit early practice reps to ramp her up safely.
- Indiana opened camp with a 16-player group after re-signing core pieces and adding veterans Monique Billings, Tyasha Harris and Myisha Hines-Allen, while Aliyah Boston secured a four-year, $6.3 million extension made possible by the new CBA.
- The Fever’s preseason starts April 25, and the regular-season opener is May 9 against the Dallas Wings.
- Clark used March competition with Team USA at the FIBA World Cup qualifiers to regain game rhythm, where she was reported to have earned tournament MVP honors.
- The longer schedule and heavy game cadence informed Indiana’s depth push and load-management plan, and Clark’s availability also carries outsized TV and ticket impacts across the league.
