The Indiana Fever were one of the surprises of the WNBA season, reaching the playoffs before falling to the favored Connecticut Sun. A key contributor to this success was undoubtedly rookie Caitlin Clark, who not only had an outstanding season but also impressed with her comments about her teammates.
In an entertaining video shared on the official Indiana Fever X (formerly Twitter) account @IndianaFever, former Iowa player reflected on the team’s mindset throughout the season.
“I think you can just tell, like, the joy that it brought my teammates as well. Like, it just speaks to the team culture that we have here. Nobody really cares about themselves. They just want the best for their teammates,” Clark stated.
Additionally, she reminisced about the game against the Los Angeles Sparks where she achieved her second triple-double of the season: “Shout out to [Aliyah Boston]. She kinda let me get that rebound. I was lucky because it bounced right in my direction. I had to get it. Kelsey [Mitchell] was like, ‘Why is everybody suddenly so excited?’ And then she figured it out. She’s like, ‘Ah, yeah.’ So that’s funny.”
