Indiana Fever Secure Playoff Berth After 7 Years

The Indiana Fever's five-game winning streak was halted by a 99-88 loss to the Minnesota Lynx despite Caitlin Clark's impressive 25-point performance. Clark has been a standout rookie, breaking multiple franchise records, including her 103rd three-pointer of the season. The Fever, now at 18-16, clinched their first playoff berth since 2016, driven by Clark's remarkable contributions and strong performances from teammates like Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston. Clark's recent accolades include her second career triple-double and being named WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month for August. The Fever's resurgence post-Olympic break, with a 7-1 record, has positioned them as a formidable contender heading into the playoffs.
