Fans React as Clark Shows Signs of a Comeback

While the Fever sit at 9‑9 and third in the Eastern Conference, they’ve gone 4‑5 without Clark. Despite her absence, Indiana earned their first in-season trophy by beating the league-leading Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup Championship on July 1.

Clark’s limited appearance in the Monday scrimmage gave fans a shot of hope.

“If she is scrimmaging, you would assume she will be playing real soon?” one fan wrote.

“Caitlin Clark is back baby. Can’t wait for Wednesday,” another added.

Clark has missed five straight games but still averages 18.2 points, 8.9 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game over her first nine starts. Her potential return could give the Fever a critical boost heading into their midseason playoff push.

Indiana’s next matchup is set for Wednesday against the Golden State Valkyries. Just shy of two weeks since Clark last suited up. Based on Monday’s scrimmage, fans have reason to believe Caitlin Clark’s return may be just around the corner.
