'It’s Been A Journey': Caitlin Clark Sees Silver Lining In Injury Rehab Learning More How Her Body And Mind Responds

She’s digging deep, leaning on the Fever’s sports psychologist and sessions multiple times a week. She’s been pouring out her stress and her joys, and it’s providing resets during rehab.

“We have a sports psychologist on our staff who I sometimes meet with multiple times a week… I don’t just talk about things that stress me out but also the joys in my life, and that’s always a good reminder and reset for me.” — Caitlin Clark

Clark is combining therapy with a full rehab toolbox: red-light therapy, dry needling, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, and more. She’s treating rehab like a pro—not just waiting to return, but learning what it means to heal.

Her journey also mirrors the Fever’s own mid-season state. With a 12‑12 record, the team is pushing toward the playoffs while managing without their star. Coach Stephanie White says Clark’s return remains “day-to-day,” with New York doctors weighing in.

Mental care is just as important. Clark relies on journaling, sleep routines, Disney movie breaks, and calming music—little actions that bring balance during recovery 

Stephanie White Offers No Timeline on Caitlin Clark’s Return

Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White gave a cautious update on Caitlin Clark’s injury ahead of their game against New York.

“Stephanie White says there’s no update on Caitlin Clark or a potential timeline,” The Athletic’s Chloe Peterson tweeted. “Clark met with another doctor this morning, but White says she hasn’t spoken with trainers about that yet.”

It’s unclear when Clark might return. This marks her tenth missed game this year due to a groin strain—her third such injury after a quad strain and left-groin flare-up.

White emphasized a methodical, day‑to‑day approach: Clark’s condition is progressing, and the team is using multiple medical opinions to guide decisions.

With Indiana 12‑12 as they prepare for a road stretch, Clark’s return timing matters. Team analyst Carolyn Peck suggested resting Clark through July’s road games, so she can rehab at home and return stronger.

For now, the league and fans can only wait. But if Clark’s comments are any clue, this moment may shape how she plays—and lives—in the long term.
