It’s impossible to think of the Indiana Fever and not immediately jump to Caitlin Clark. Few stars transcend their sport like Clark. As a result, everything the Fever do is looked at through a Clark-tinted microscope.

Indiana also signed three experienced former WNBA champions: wing DeWanna Bonner, forward Natasha Howard and guard Sydney Colson. Sophie Cunningham, a 3-and-D wing, and forward Brianna Turner, an athletic rim protector, played in the 2021 WNBA Finals with the Phoenix Mercury.

The WNBA eagerly promoted Sky-Fever — and Reese-Clark — as a rivalry in 2024, when both players were rookies. And it continues to do so, having lined the teams up for another matchup in Indianapolis, the fourth of their five meetings this season, to kick off the inaugural WNBA Rivals Week in August.
