Caitlin Clark Addresses Her Physical Condition After Return From Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports .
Caitlin Clark made her return to the court on Saturday after missing five straight games due to a quad injury. Sure enough, she quickly made an impact, leading the team to a big 102-88 win over the New York Liberty .

The 23-year-old playmaker exploded for 32 points , eight rebounds and nine assists. While she committed seven turnovers, she more than made up for it with her two blocks and one steal, as well as her efficient 55% shooting.
It certainly didn't look like Clark missed more than two weeks of WNBA basketball with the way she played.
That said, Clark was naturally asked about her condition following her return and their epic win against the previously undefeated Liberty.

"I feel good," Clark said about how she feels physically after playing 31 minutes in her return from injury.
"I thought my rotations were good. Steph got me a couple breathers. But I feel strong. I felt good."
In her postgame presser, Caitlin Clark also shared that she didn't feel rusty at all despite her lengthy spell on the sidelines. However, she did admit that she felt some exhaustion at some points during the game.
"Just a little anxious to go out there and get playing again," Clark said, per Moreau Sports Media Prod Co. "There was a few periods where I felt a little tired … but other than that my legs felt really strong."

Indiana plays the Connecticut Sun next on Tuesday, and hopes are high that the team will win again with Clark back and feeling great.
