Caitlin Clark's injury woes are finally behind her as the former Hawkeye and current Indiana Fever star finally feels 100 percent.
Clark was sidelined for a majority of the 2025 season due to a variety of injuries, and her presence was definitely missed on the court.
When she is healthy, she is one of the best players in the WNBA, but she had to learn a whole new lesson last year that wasn't easy.
Clark learned the hard way she can still impact her team's success from the sideline
Throughout her career, at Dowling Catholic High School, the University of Iowa, or the Indiana Fever, Clark has always been the focal point, with everyone cheering her on.
Her injury forced her to become a better teammate, which says was a great experience.

"I got to be their biggest fan. And I think that was a great experience for me because through a lot of my career, everybody else was my biggest fan."

Clark was used to everyone being her biggest fan, but last season, she became her teammates' biggest fan.
She still wanted to be very visible on the sidelines, supporting her teammates, and she quickly found she could have a positive impact without the ball in her hands.
Clark admitted she felt isolated at times because she could not be at practice or on the court with her teammates while she was undergoing treatment, but she still wanted to be the best teammate she could be.
Now fully healthy and back on the court, Clark has a whole new perspective on what it means to be a good teammate, and she can use those lessons to her advantage.
The Fever begin their 2026 season in just a few days as they head to New York on Saturday, April 25, for a preseason matchup against the New York Liberty.
