What Caitlin Clark had to say about injury, getting ready for season
The Indiana Fever finish the preseason Saturday in Atlanta against the Dream. Will Clark play?
ATLANTA — Caitlin Clark has been working back from a left quad injury throughout training camp, she told IndyStar and The Athletic ahead of the Fever’s game against the Dream on Saturday.
She doesn’t know when specifically the injury occurred, but it could’ve been from overuse.
“Probably just a little too much basketball,” she said at Friday’s practice. “I love being in the gym, but I think understanding when to be in the gym and when to recover, things like that, I think it’s just finding a balance and obviously getting back in the swing of things. It was nothing major or anything like that.”
The injury, which she has described as “just a little tightness,” held her out of the Fever’s first preseason game against the Mystics on May 3. She played the next day against the Brazilian National team at her alma mater in Iowa City.
Fever coach Stephanie White said Clark has been limited in practice this week as she works back from the quad injury; they don’t want to push her too much before the regular season begins on May 17.
Still, Clark has been able to participate fully in the drills she has done in practice.
“When I’m in practice, I’m full go,” Clark said Friday. “I’m not limited in any regard in the drills I’m in. The past few days I’ve been pretty active, but there’s no reason to really overdo anything right now.“
Clark is available for the Fever’s final preseason game against the Dream in Atlanta on Saturday.
Damiris Dantas, who is out with a lower left leg injury, will be out against Atlanta. She also didn’t participate in the Fever’s first two preseason games, as missed multiple training camp practices because of a loss in the family.
