Caitlin Clark Turns Heads During Indiana Fever Practice on Monday originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Indiana Fever’s midseason push has kept the team in playoff contention, but the spotlight remains focused on Caitlin Clark’s return timeline.
Indiana currently sits at 9‑9, good for third place in the Eastern Conference, going 4‑5 record without their star guard.
This includes a WNBA Commissioner’s Cup championship win over the league-leading Minnesota Lynx, marking their first-ever in-season trophy.
Despite the recent successes, Clark has been sidelined since June 24 due to a persistent left groin strain.
On Monday, the Fever hosted an exclusive scrimmage for their season ticket holders at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The organization shared a video clip on X capturing Clark knocking down the first basket of the session with the caption, “the first bucket during our scrimmage in front of our MVP season ticket holders goes to Caitlin Clark 🪣.”
