Caitlin Clark didn't play in the Indiana Fever's first preseason game against the Washington Mystics on May 3, but she had plenty of energy while cheering on the team from the bench.

In one clip shared online by @nosyone4 on X, Clark appeared to demand of her teammates, "We got two people bleeding. i mean i don’t wanna have to put on my uniform…pull my pants off."
The Fever had Clark's status listed as questionable Friday night, and though she showed up at the team's warmup ahead of the Mystics matchup, Clark returned to the court dressed in black sweatpants and a Fever hoodie, cleary not planning to play in the game.
Ahead of the game Clark explained she experiencing "a little tightness" in her leg and that the medical team would ultimately make a judgement call.
Though the Fever had a slow start, the team's momentum picked up during the second quarter. Sophie Cunningham more than helped fill the gap in her first game with the team. Cunningham ended the night with 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists, a strong start that hopefully bodes well or the team's 2025 season.
