The Indiana Fever kicked off their 2025 WNBA campaign on Saturday with a home tilt against the Chicago Sky at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

After a sold-out crowd buzzed through tip-off, the Fever, led by sophomore guard Caitlin Clark, settled into a tightly contested first quarter before delivering their first highlight of the night early in the second.

Clark dribbled upcourt, surveyed the defense, and dished a perfectly timed back-door feed to Lexie Hull, who glided past her defender for an uncontested lay-in.

The official Indiana Fever account quickly reposted the clip on X with a simple three-word caption: "What a look ".

Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in April 2024, arrived in Indianapolis after a record-shattering four years at Iowa.

There, she became the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer, collected back-to-back Naismith and Wooden Awards, and twice earned AP Player of the Year honors.

Her rookie WNBA season echoed that dominance.

Clark led the league in assists (8.4 per game), averaged 19.2 points and 5.7 rebounds, and became the first rookie named to the All-WNBA First Team since Candace Parker in 2008.

She also received Rookie of the Year and All-Star honors, and finished fourth in MVP voting.

The 2024 Indiana Fever snapped an eight-year playoff drought, finishing the regular season at .500 (20-20) to clinch the sixth seed in the playoffs before losing to the Connecticut Sun in the first round.

If last season’s breakthrough proved one year of Clark’s superstar effect, 2025 may reveal the Fever as a complete contender rather than a Cinderella story.
