Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever got back on track on Thursday night. After losing two straight games and dropping to .500, the Fever got back to winning ways with an impressive victory against Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream, 83-71.
Clark turned in another strong performance for Indiana. The 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year logged 17 points on 6-of-17 shooting, seven rebounds, eight assists, a block and two three-pointers in 31 minutes of action. It was a nice bounce-back performance from Clark, who was coming off a season-low six-point outing in their blowout loss to the Portland Fire on Saturday.
The Fever improved to 5-4 and secured a win in their first Commissioner’s Cup game of the season.
Clark put on a show in front of a packed house at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. After the game, the 24-year-old made sure to show her appreciation to the fans who came to watch the team play.
As Clark signed autographs in the tunnel after the game, the two-time All-Star decided to take off her shoes. She signed them and handed the pair over to a lucky fan.
