Indiana Fever Led by Caitlin Clark Will Be in the WNBA Playoffs For the First Time Since 2016

 

When it comes to the WNBA Caitlin Clark is a fan magnet beyond compare
Whether playing at home or away with Clark in the Fever lineup fans want to be there
As a rookie she has already set season the rookie record for points, three points and assists
While adding a record 2 triple doubles to her rookie season record list
To go with most assists in a game at 19 and a record 10 assists in an All-Star game
But one record will bring her and the Fever even more fame
In her last game of the season with the Washington Mystics a team with only 13 wins
A regular game attendance record of 20,771 fans in the arena were crammed in
It is a foregone conclusion that that she will be the rookie of the year
Leading the Fever to its first .500 season since 2016  and the first time since 2016 in the playoffs it will appear
Quite an improvement since going 13-27 in 2023
While the Fever are hoping she in the playoffs will continue her scoring and assists spree
Caitlin is being paid a paltry $338,056 over 4 years
But she will not have any financial fears
As she has signed with Nike a $28 million endorsement deal
No need for her to head off like Griner to play in Russia where threats of  false arrests are very real
