So you're having to watch your team from the outside."Caitlin Clark and Sydney Colson spent considerable time behind the scenes as they underwent rehabilitation together. Numerous videos surfaced on social media throughout the season, highlighting the growing bond between the two players.Colson used her experience to guide Clark through one of the most challenging periods of her career.

"Make sure you're still being vocal. You don't want to lose this time with your teammates, because you're injured or sidelined, you're not still using that opportunity to lead or to grow relationships. Don't let it be a wasted season just because you can't physically contribute."Caitlin Clark missed 31 games due to three separate injuries, the most recent being a right groin strain.
