Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark is still on the mend from a right groin injury she suffered on July 15 against the Connecticut Sun. Indiana recently revealed that Clark is not dealing with any additional injuries, but has no set timetable for a return.

Of course, the injury hasn't stopped Clark from being a presence on the Fever sideline, nor has it kept her from continuing her charitable endeavors.

Clark took part in an event in Des Moines, Iowa Monday. She was there for the unveiling of the newest Caitlin Clark Foundation community basketball court, and to help giveaway backpacks and school supplies to students.

Clark's appearance at the event clearly went a long way—as evidenced by a viral clip featuring some students who couldn't have been happier to be in her presence.

Fever Fans Hope Clark's Kick Is a Good Sign for Recovery

However, a different sort of clip is now making the rounds—one in which Clark is seen showing off her soccer skills. Clark's background in soccer is no secret, but seeing her swing her injured right leg amid a groin injury had many Fever fans singing the same tune.

"does she know she's injured?" wrote one fan.

While several others chimed in with a similar sentiment, either expressing hope that the kick means Clark is feeling healthy or emphasizing that she get more rest.

"Her groin looks fine to me. I hope she’s back on the court soon.

*this is a joke. I hope she’s prioritizing rest and rehab*," wrote another fan.

"Groin seems to be healing nicely ,, lets just take it easy for a bit ," added a third commenter.

Seeing Clark not moving gingerly is certainly encouraging. But that simple action is not the same as taking part in a WNBA game.

It remains to be seen exactly when Clark will return to the floor for the Fever, but she does seem to be on the road to recovery.
