Colaboradores
Basketball fans, rejoice! Indiana Fever's star player, Caitlin Clark, is set to make her comeback on Wednesday against the Golden State Valkyries after being sidelined for five games due to a left groin injury. This highly anticipated match is sure to be a thriller, and you won't want to miss a single moment.
Clark's Return: A Boost for the Fever
Clark, who is also an All-Star captain, participated in practice on Monday, much to the delight of season ticket holders. She engaged in a 5-on-5 scrimmage, marking the first time she'd done so since her injury on June 26th. If all goes well, Clark is expected to be available for Wednesday's game.
"It’s nice to get back out there and get back into the flow of playing with my teammates again,” Clark told reporters after practice on Tuesday. “It’s going to be fun to get back out there hopefully and just feel things again. … It’s obviously hard sitting out and watching for a few weeks, so I’m excited to get out there.”
This has been a season of interruptions for Clark, marked by two separate injuries. She has only played in nine of the team’s 18 games, in addition to the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup final where the Fever triumphed over the Minnesota Lynx. Last month, a left quad injury kept her off the court for five games.
Game Strategy and Playing Time
Clark is hoping to play a significant amount of time, aiming for the upper 20s in terms of minutes. However, she acknowledges that her playing time will depend on the flow of the game, how she feels, and what the team requires. She's prioritizing a cautious approach to ensure she doesn't overexert herself and can maintain a good position moving forward.
