DONE NOW: Caitlin Clark’s made a Big Announcement To Indiana Fever just now
The Indiana Fever have secured a spot in the WNBA playoffs for the first time since 2016. Their playoff berth was confirmed on September 3rd after losses by the Chicago Sky and Atlanta Dream, with Indiana finishing the regular season as the No. 6 seed with a 17-16 record. The Fever’s social media announcement of their postseason qualification created a buzz, with Caitlin Clark, the standout rookie, showing her excitement by sharing a Fever post on Instagram that said, “We’re in.” The post quickly gained traction, amassing over 2,500 shares and 21.5k likes.
Clark, a rookie from Iowa, has significantly impacted Indiana’s franchise. The Fever, who have held the last two No. 1 overall draft picks—Aliyah Boston in 2023 and Caitlin Clark in 2024—are benefitting from Clark’s impressive debut season. She is averaging 18.7 points, 8.4 assists, and 5.6 rebounds per game, leading all rookies in points and topping the league in assists.
The Fever have seven games remaining in their schedule, including a six-game home stretch. With their current four-game winning streak and having won eight of their last ten games, Indiana is one of the hottest teams in the league and could be favored in most of their upcoming matches.
