CAITLIN CLARK has set out her intentions for the off-season after suffering an injury-disrupted season.
The Indiana Fever star played just 13 regular season games this campaign due to the issues.

So it was no surprise when the 23-year-old put her rehabilitation at the forefront of her plans in her exit interview.
She told press: “I’ll probably take a little bit of a break here just for maybe a week.
“I don’t really want to lose kind of the stuff I’ve worked on and just trying to get my body back to full health.
“There’s some USA Basketball stuff I need to get ready for. And I need to be able to find some runs and some ways to play five-on-five just so I can kind of get that feel back.”
“More than anything, I think my main focus is really just getting my body healthy.”
Clark suffered a serious groin injury against the Connecticut Sun in mid-July.
The Fever battled on without her, finishing the regular season with a 24-20 record.
They would, however, feel her absence as they fell to a 3-2 series defeat in the playoff semi-finals against the Las Vegas Aces last week.
She continued: “Once we get back to five-on-five, just being able to test my body and make sure I know it’s in a good spot.
“Whether it’s going to be able to hold up with everything that we think we’ve corrected or we think we’ve worked on, to be able to know I’m in a really good spot there.
“So that’s probably going to be my main focus is, you know, just feeling 100% again and then obviously, you know, having that confidence in my body too.”
Clark was non-committal when asked about her potential involvement in the spin-off women’s basketball ‘Unrivaled’ league.
The fast-paced 3v3 league is championed by many of her Fever teammates, including Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston.
But Clark refused to confirm or rule out her involvement, saying she is still weighing up her options.
Her attention has turned in part to the international scene, with Clark looking to make a mark with Team USA ahead of the 2026 Women’s Basketball World Cup.

“I think you always explore every opportunity and I haven’t made any decisions and I don’t know what that’s necessarily going to look like for me.
“There’s some USA Basketball stuff that is probably my top priority right now that I need to prepare for, and I think that will help me prepare for next season too.
“There’s just a lot of different things you got to figure out and balance. I’ll work through a lot of that too.”
Clark’s nonchalant attitude is impressive considering her recent position at the centre of a league-wide spat with commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
Players rushed to Clark’s defense after Engelbert reportedly claimed the superstar should be ‘grateful’ for the opportunities the league has provided her, despite the comparatively poor contracts that the WNBA’s biggest stars receive.
