The Fever went on to reach the WNBA semifinals for the first time since 2015; Indiana pushed the eventual champion Las Vegas Aces to a winner-take-all Game 5 in that series.<\/p>\n<p>The Fever made it clear that they would not prioritize Clark&#8217;s long-term health in search of wins in 2025. Indiana reached the semifinals without the superstar guard &#8212; and now that she is fully healthy, with plans to stay that way, the Fever will be a firm championship favorite in 2026, once the WNBA and the WNBPA agree on a new CBA.<\/p>\n<p>Next year then is shaping up to be a big one for Clark, with anticipation growing that she will make her senior national team debut as well.<\/p>\n<p>More WNBA news:<\/p>\n<p>                            <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Caitlin Clark is back to 100 percent.
