Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White gave fans a hopeful update on Caitlin Clark’s playoff availability, saying the star guard is “day-to-day” and making steady progress in her rehab. Clark, who’s been sidelined since mid-July with a groin injury and a bone bruise in her ankle, has started participating in light drills and shootarounds.

“I don’t have any specifics on it but I think right now, it’s day-to-day,” White told reporters. “She has progressed in her rehab and anticipate her hopefully by the end of the week on the floor, at least in practice”.

Clark’s absence has been felt across the board. The Fever have gone 4-6 in their last ten games, struggling to maintain offensive rhythm without her playmaking. White emphasized how Clark’s return could open things up for Aliyah Boston, saying, “The ability to spread the floor for AB. To have another person that can knock down a shot and we can create some space for AB to go to work on the interior”.

Fans have been vocal online, with some urging caution and others predicting a return against the Lynx. Fever supporters on Reddit and X have speculated that Clark’s comeback could be the spark Indiana needs to lock in a playoff spot.

Caitlin Clark isn’t just a scorer — she’s the engine of the Fever’s offense. And with the postseason looming, her return could shift the entire playoff picture.

“Feels good! I’ve got the pants, got the charms, necklace, zipper, everything,” Clark said in a video shared by the Fever’s social media team.

The outfit marked the public debut of Clark’s Nike logo — two interlocking C’s with a hidden third, symbolizing her connection to fans and her journey from the inside out. The logo will appear on a full apparel line launching this fall, with a signature shoe scheduled for 2026.

Fans at the arena received white shirts and thundersticks featuring the logo, turning the stands into a “Clark-out.” It wasn’t just a branding moment — it was a celebration of Clark’s growing influence in women’s sports.

Caitlin Clark’s Nike partnership isn’t just about gear. It’s a statement of how far she’s come — and how far she’s still going.
