Caitlin Clark is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in the WNBA right now. The Indiana Fever guard is not only one of the most popular basketball players on the planet but is also often credited for reviving the WNBA and elevating it to stand alongside major sports leagues.
However, last season was not very eventful for Clark, as she was sidelined for most of the time due to injuries. She played only 13 games last season while dealing with a recurring groin injury.
### NBA Trainer Chris Brickley Interested in Working with Caitlin Clark
On Sunday, a fan page dedicated to Clark shared an interview clip featuring NBA trainer Chris Brickley. In the video, Brickley revealed that he had a chance to work with Caitlin Clark but was asked to fly to Indiana to make it happen.
“I’m hoping now this offseason that she’ll come to New York and we’ll get some work in,” Brickley said. “Man, she’s the reason why the WNBA has become so big. I’d love to work with her. Working with her is an incredible opportunity, and she should be in a spot where she’s comfortable and doesn’t have to worry about her name being used for clout.”
### Fans React to the Potential Collaboration
Fans expressed excitement at the prospect of Clark training with Brickley. One fan commented, “Omgggg I hope they get to work together this offseason.” Others were critical of the Indiana Fever organization for not facilitating this opportunity sooner.
One fan wrote, “Just further confirmation that the Fever org messed up her mechanics last offseason. Caitlin, please get another trainer!!” Another added, “She should take him up on his offer instead of hanging around that other trainer and golfing.”
### About Chris Brickley
Brickley is a well-established trainer in the basketball world, having worked with some of the best players in the NBA, including LeBron James, who trained with him as recently as June.
### Indiana Fever Coach Provides Update on Caitlin Clark’s Rehab
Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White gave a significant update on Clark’s recovery during her guest appearance on “Fever Insider LIVE” on Wednesday. When asked about how close Clark was to playing 5-on-5 basketball, White responded cautiously but positively.
“Yeah, I think so. We’re not jumping into anything that’s too much right now,” White said. “We have the ability right now to take it on a week-by-week basis and do some 3-on-3, doing some 2-on-2, building into 5-on-5.”
She continued, “She’s laying a really good foundation so that we’re not having any setbacks or any regression.”
### Looking Ahead
The Fever reached the playoff semifinals last season without Caitlin Clark. Having her back at full strength next season would be a huge boost for the team and fans alike.
