Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever, prepares for stronger WNBA season

Caitlin Clark has returned to the Indiana Fever for her second WNBA season feeling physically stronger after dedicating her offseason to building muscle and recovery, a change she and her coaches believe will enhance her game. The Fever training camp has a renewed energy with a revamped roster, new head coach Stephanie White, and several high-profile additions, leading both Clark and teammates to describe the team's atmosphere as fresh and positive. Clark emphasized the importance of team chemistry, acknowledging that integrating new talent will take time, but sees the team's depth as a major strength for the upcoming season.

The Fever, coming off their first playoff appearance since 2016, are now considered early championship contenders, with heightened expectations fueled by Clark's rapid rise and the team's offseason upgrades. Both Clark and her coaches are optimistic about the team’s potential, highlighting improved physical preparation and a supportive team culture.
