Caitlin Clark Back In Action After Second 5-Game Absence of 2025 Season

WNBA fans have been pining for the return of Caitlin Clark after her second injury of the season. The Fever sensation has been out of action over the past five games for her team with a groin injury. On this front, the fans have a piece of good news coming up as the team will be bolstered by her return. The 23-year-old revealed that she will be almost definitely good to go in their next game against the Valkyries.

Caitlin Clark has now missed 10 games of action during the season, which could be a reason why despite garnering a record number of fan votes for the All-Star game in Indianapolis, she was only voted 9th among players by her peers for the big game. Nevertheless, her comeback will bolster the Fever, who have admittedly dealt decently with her absence, including a blowout win in the Commissioner’s Cup.

Speaking to an Indianapolis reporter for The Athletic, Scott Agness, Clark detailed her plans for returning to action ahead of their fixture against the Valkyries.

Yeah I think it was just nice to get back out there and back in the flow of playing with my teammates again. It’s going to be fun to get back out hopefully and just feel things again. I don’t know what type of minutes I’m going to get will look like. But when I’m not there, they compete, play hard. This is a team that’s moving constantly so just being aware and active brings energy. It’s obviously hard sitting out there and watching for a few weeks. So I’m happy to get back out there.

Caitlin Clark was then asked whether she would really be happy with playing under a minutes restriction under coach Stephanie White. She answered poignantly, explaining that she would be available for as many minutes as she can possibly play against the Valkyries in her comeback game.

Yeah, I mean, I hope to play at least a decent amount, maybe upper 20s (in minute count out of 40). I guess it just depends on what the team needs as well. You know, it’s always flexible but yeah I feel pretty good, but will probably try not to overdo it, and put myself in a good position moving forward.
