Caitlin Clark's 22 of 25 Three-Point Barrage Has Fever Fans Buzzing
Indiana Fever fans have had to wait an agonizingly long time since they last got to watch beloved star guard Caitlin Clark compete.
Clark's most recent game was on July 15, when the Fever faced the Connecticut Sun at the TD Garden Arena in Boston. No. 22 suffered a tweaked groin in the final minute of that game, which made her visibly emotional on the sidelines. The immediate question that came to mind at that point was whether the 24-year-old could compete in the WNBA three-point contest and All-Star Game that were taking place later that weekend at the Fever's home Gainbridge Fieldhouse Arena.
Not only did Clark not compete in the WNBA All-Star Game four days after that groin injury, but she didn't suit up for the rest of the Fever's 2025 season. This groin injury, combined with a sprained ankle she got during rehab, and the Fever wanting to be cautious with women's basketball's biggest star, all caused Clark to remain sidelined.
Clark has since gotten back to full strength and participated in a Team USA training camp in December. And fans will finally get to see her competing in an actual game in less than two weeks, as she is on Team USA's roster for the FIBA Women's World Cup Qualifier Tournament, which takes place in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from March 11-17.
Caitlin Clark's Insane Shooting Display Sparks Fever Fan Excitement
If Clark competes on March 11, that will mark 239 days since she hurt her groin on July 15. The Fever's social media admin realizes how eager fans are to see her compete, and they added to the excitement with a video on March 2.
The video shows Clark draining three-pointers at the Fever's practice facility with the caption, "22 getting buckets 🪣
"Caitlin Clark went 22-for-25 from beyond the arc after her workout today 🔔".
