The Indiana Fever are officially in for the 2024 WNBA Playoffs, following Wednesday’s (PHL time) results that saw the Chicago Sky lose to the Las Vegas Aces, and the Atlanta Dream losing to the Phoenix Mercury.

 

 

With a 17-16 record, the Fever will be one of the eight teams that will compete for the title. Indiana is currently the no. 7 seed.

This upcoming postseason appearance marks the first for the Fever since 2016, and 14th overall in franchise history.

Indiana previously made the WNBA Playoffs for 12 straight seasons from 2005 to 2016, including winning the championship in 2012 and Finals appearances in 2009 and 2015.

Clark, the no. 1 overall pick of the 2024 Draft, leads the league in assists with 8.4 per game, on top of 18.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.4 steals.

Kelsey Mitchell leads the Fever in scoring at 19.0 a game, while another former no. 1 pick in Aliyah Boston leads the team in rebounding at 9.0 per outing.
