Caitlin Clark Back in the Gym as WNBA Labor Talks Cloud Season Start

Her ramp-up follows a 2025 groin injury, with the league’s May 8 opener in question due to unresolved CBA talks.

Overview

Clark resumed on-court work Monday, with ClutchPoints highlighting a 25-shot workout as she prepares for her third season with the Fever.
She appeared in 13 games in 2025 before a groin injury, averaging 16.5 points and 8.8 assists during that span.
The Fever finished 24-20 and made the playoffs in 2025 despite Clark and Sophie Cunningham ending the season off the active roster.
Negotiations between the WNBA and the players’ union have not produced a new CBA, and reporting notes a possible 2026 lockout that could affect the expected May 8 start.
Clark also drew offseason notice for a playful Instagram comment on Cunningham’s post, underscoring the teammates’ active profiles during the break.
