The most important offseason move for the Indiana Fever will occur April 15, when, for the second-straight year, they’ll select first in the 2024 WNBA Draft. Even more fortunately for the Fever, another potentially-generational player awaits. At this point, it’d be surprising if Iowa’s Caitlin Clark does not enter the draft. From there, it’d be shocking if the Fever do not select Clark.
Indiana’s leadership can enter the offseason fairly confident that Clark will join their returning core, giving them clarity about how best to round out the rest of the roster in hopes of accelerating a return to the playoffs.
