Caitlin Clark says she is ‘100% healthy’ heading into Fever training camp after injury-riddled 2025 season

Published

The Indiana Fever are back on the hardwood, as the team reported to training camp ahead of the 2026 season, and all eyes are on superstar guard Caitlin Clark once again.

This time, it’s to make sure she’s healthy enough to get after it following a sophomore season in the WNBA riddled with injuries.

Clark told reporters at training camp she is “100% healthy” after dealing with quad, groin and ankle injuries in 2025, which led to just 13 games played for the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year.

But while Clark wasn’t allowed to be on the court, she learned, along with head coach Stephanie White, how to be a bit more cautious heading into year three.

“I’m a person that doesn’t want to sit out a single rep, like I want to be in there every single time,” Clark told reporters, per the Indianapolis Star. “But I think just being a little bit smarter with my body…whether that’s recovery, whether that’s pre-court treatment, whatever it is.”

White echoed Clark’s statement.

“She doesn’t have to be out there every rep, just being mindful,” she said. “Every year that she gets older, she understands the cadence is a little bit different.”

Clark played just 13 games, but she made her second straight All-Star Game, averaging 16.5 points, five rebounds and 8.8 assists per game over that span.

Heading into this season, Clark is obviously looking to continue her hot start to her professional career, and working out with Team USA in March ahead of the FIBA Women’s World Cup was an experience she said helped her prepare for this season.

“You want to rise to the level of the people around you, and then you also want to beat them, get on the court and compete,” she said about that experience playing and training with the best of the best in women’s basketball.

So, Clark heads into training camp not pushing herself perhaps how she has in the past, including years at Iowa. The Fever can see what else they have at the guard position when she does sit out and rest, including first-round pick Raven Johnson out of South Carolina.

The Fever are hoping to continue its build to a WNBA contender, losing in the semfinals last season with an injury-riddled squad. They also made it a point to bring back core players from last year’s roster, including Sophie Cunningham, Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull — all of whom dealt with injuries in 2025.

Indiana was also looking ahead to the future, inking Aliyah Boston to a four-year, $6.3 million contract extension that marked the highest-paid deal in WNBA history following a historic CBA agreement between the league and the players’ association.

Chicago Public Schools declare May 1 a ‘day of civil action’ for students

Published

on

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) will consider May 1 a “day of civil action” for students despite classes still being in session.

The CTU pushed a resolution last month to designate May 1, otherwise known as May Day or International Workers’ Day, as the day of “Civic Action and Defense of Public Education” and a day off for teachers and students.

“If we still want to have democracy in the midterms this November, public schools that provide our students with quality education, and unions to defend workers’ rights, then it is up to every Chicagoan to stand up for what we believe in and show the authoritarian billionaire in Washington that when he breaks every rule, we will not go along with business as usual,” CTU Vice President Jackson Potter said in a statement at the time.

In a statement on Friday, CPS confirmed that May 1 would still be considered a full instructional day with students and staff still expected to attend.

However, CPS added that schools can allow “optional participation” in “civil engagement events” for students who wish to attend protests or take part in civil activities during the school day under state laws.

“Principals may exercise their existing authority to provide students the opportunity to participate in events and field trips, including civic engagement activities on May 1 during the school day. Schools wishing to participate must follow the existing CPS student travel policy and normal field trip procedures,” the CPS statement read.

According to CPS, students between grades six and 12 are allowed one excused absence per school year to attend a civic engagement event so long as they obtain parental permission and that the event is “open to the public and sponsored by a nonprofit organization or a government agency.”

“This agreement preserves the classroom time students deserve and respects our staff and families who must be able to trust CPS to uphold the academic school year calendar,” CEO/Superintendent Dr. Macquline King said in a statement. “At the same time, the agreement honors the proud history of civic action in Chicago and beyond.”

CPS confirmed that future May Days could be considered professional development days, starting in 2028.

Fox News Digital reached out to CPS and the CTU for comment.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson released a statement on Friday celebrating the announcement as a way to honor the history of May Day.

“Encouraging participation allows Chicagoans to honor our history while advocating for our future. We look forward to a day of meaningful solidarity and community resistance to the forces trying to tear us apart,” Johnson said. 

He continued, “The history of May Day in America is rooted in Chicago. It was in our city that workers organized around the simple demand of an eight-hour workday and raised the consciousness of a gilded nation through the Haymarket Strike. We continue to work with all City Agencies and Departments to ensure a safe and impactful May Day.”
