Fans can expect the action to begin at 1:00 p.m. ET, marking the start of a historic 44-game season where every single Fever matchup will be featured on national television.
Fever’s coach Stephanie White eagerly awaits Clark’s return
The outcome of the Fever’s last season might have been different if Caitlin Clark had been fully healthy. With her groin injury now behind her, Stephanie White is excited about what her star player can bring to the team.
“I’m happy for her that she can find joy in playing again and just go out and do what she does best,” the head coach recently revealed to the press.
Clark wants to take it step by step after her injury
The game against the Wings will mark Clark’s return to the court after a long absence in the WNBA following her injury in the 2025 season. Although she feels fully healthy, the guard prefers to ease her way into the start of the season.
“I think you just take it game by game. That’s how you approach things. This one is just as important as the next, but you remain focused on the one right in front of you.”
