Indiana Fever<\/a> superstar Caitlin Clark<\/a>‘s second professional season was derailed by injuries. Clark dealt with a leg issue in preseason, a quadriceps injury and injuries to both her left and right groin. Ultimately, she was ruled out for the rest of the season in September because of a right groin injury. <\/p>\n

Clark was limited to 13 games in 2025, averaging 16.5 points on 36.7% shooting, 5.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.2 triples in 31.1 minutes per contest. The 23-year-old was still named an All-Star for a second straight year.<\/p>\n

The Fever have been doing what they can to keep the fans engaged throughout the WNBA<\/a> offseason. On Thursday, the team took to social media to jump in on the 2016 throwback trend. The Fever posted a handful of throwback photos of the players from a decade ago. Fans were delighted to see how the likes of Kelsey Mitchell, Lexie Hull and Sydney Colson looked in 2016.<\/p>\n

There was no throwback photo of Clark, though. The Fever superstar decided to jump on the comments section to share her reaction to the team\u2019s decision to leave her out of the throwback post.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan\u2019t be got,\u201d Clark replied, pointing out that the team could not find a proper throwback photo of her from 2016.<\/p>\n

The Fever acknowledged Clark\u2019s statement. \u201cscrolled and found nothing \ud83d\ude2d,\u201d admitted the team.<\/p>\n

Fever forward Chloe Bibby also responded to Clark\u2019s comment. \u201cwere you even walking by then? Or still in diapers?\u201d asked Bibby.<\/p>\n

\u201cFair point,\u201d replied the former Iowa Hawkeyes superstar.<\/p>\n

Clark has recovered from her season-ending injury. In December, she took part in her first Team USA senior training camp practice in preparation for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

“It feels nice to finally be\u00a0back to a hundred percent,” she said.<\/p>\n

Clark is expected to be ready for the start of the next WNBA season, though its start date could be in doubt. The league’s collective bargaining agreement expired this month after more than a year of negotiations failed to yield a deal<\/a>. <\/p>\n
