Former Iowa Hawkeyes star and current Indiana Fever All-Star Caitlin Clark gave an inside scoop about how her injury recovery process has been like alongside an NBA All-Star.

Clark has since recovered from a groin injury that has sidelined her for the Fever’s last five games while Haliburton, coming off of a 2025 NBA Finals defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a thrilling best-of-seven series, is currently nursing his torn right Achilles that he suffered from the Pacers’ game seven loss.
“Well, it’s funny sometimes I’m at the hyperbaric chamber and I’m in one tube and Ty’s in the tube next to me. So, he’s like trying to get through the Marvel catalog, I guess, so you’ll have to ask him about that. But I mean, he loves basketball like I’ve said this before, like he, even if we’re playing on the road or you know, there’s a couple games he maybe can’t see in person, he’s always got it on,” Clark explained.

“But I know, even our game, he didn’t really know that it was at noon a couple days ago and he had a conflict and he made sure to move the meeting that he had to be able to be here and support us,” she added.

Along with this, the WNBA sophomore shared her thoughts about how much he loves the state of Indianapolis as a whole.

So, we’re very lucky and fortunate. But yeah, I mean he watches a lot of basketball. I think there was a game we lost that I didn’t even play in, probably two or three weeks ago, and I was on a plane flying back and he’s like, ‘Yeah, I’m already re-watching it,'” Clark shared. (0:35)
“‘I’ll text you what I think.’ And I’m like, bro, that’s how you know how bored he is with the thing ’cause he hasn’t really started rehab yet. He’s just kind of chilling so…But yeah, he’s, he’s probably one of our biggest fans,” she concluded.
