After making her WNBA debut at Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun Arena, Fever No. 1 overall pick Caitlin Clark will make her WNBA Playoffs debut on the very same floor.
In the first round of the 2024 WNBA Playoffs, Clark and the No. 6 Fever will face Alyssa Thomas and the No. 3 Sun. Indiana returns to the postseason after an eight-year drought while Connecticut makes its eighth consecutive trip to the playoffs.
Clark’s debut kicked off a rough start for the Fever, who lost eight of their first nine games of the season. In the time since, however, Clark and All-Star teammates Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell have turned things around in Indiana, which enters the postseason with plenty of momentum.
