With the Indiana Fever preparing for the 2026 season, star Caitlin Clark is looking to bounce back after an injury-riddled 2025 and impress in her third season in the WNBA. As Clark and the Fever took on the New York Liberty on Saturday, it resulted in a 109-91 victory as head coach Stephanie White spoke about the star’s outing.

In the win over the Liberty, Clark would have a rusty game, scoring seven points on two of 10 shooting from the field, one of five from beyond the arc, to go along with four assists and three rebounds. Having played in her first WNBA-style game since July 15 of last year, there was no denying that a rough start was expected, but still, White liked what she saw from Clark.

“She was good,” White said, according to Robin Lundberg. “You know, I think we play differently when she’s on the floor. And so again, learning how to to play with her in the action. I thought she was good, I thought she didn’t force anything, she played with great intention, and everything that she did was in the flow.”
