The Indiana Fever are set to be a captivating team in the upcoming WNBA preseason, with all 44 games broadcast nationally. Key players Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell will be pivotal in determining the team's success.

What Indianaâs year will be like will depend on how well Caitlin Clark plays. Last season, Clarkâs year was cut short due to a groin injury, but now sheâs back and ready to play. What levels of greatness can she reach? During her rookie season, Clark averaged 19.2 points per game and converted on 34 percent of her 3-point attempts. If she can take her play to another level, the Fever move into another category and become legit title contenders. In that first year, Clark was the sun, and her teammates revolved around her. She held the ball and got the offense started most of the time. Thatâs a lot to ask of a rookie playing in a league as tough and physical as the WNBA. Overall, she did well, but there were times when defenders got the better of her, and moments when it looked like the fatigue of constantly bringing the ball up caught up with her. This year, thereâs an opportunity for her operate more frequently off the ball, especially if players like first-round draft pick Raven Johnson can demonstrate the ability to run the offense during preseason. Clark discussed how exhausting it is to play so much on-ball during her media availability this week. Without Clark, the Fever were a formidable team last year. They beat the Dream in the first round of the playoffs before losing to the eventual-champion Aces in five-game semifinal series, when they pushed Vegas to overtime in the series finale. While that was a gutsy team effort, now the Fever will have their own ace in Clark, ready and available. And if sheâs as good as people think she is, they should be in the running for a title in 2026.
The Fever are intriguing due to their star power, including Caitlin Clark, and the potential for a strong season with all games televised nationally.
Caitlin Clark averaged 19.2 points per game and shot 34% from three-point range during her rookie season before her injury.
The Fever must find a way for Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell to coexist on the court, balancing their offensive responsibilities.
The Indiana Fever's preseason begins on Saturday against the New York Liberty at 3 p.m. ET.

Overall, the core from the Fever last year is back. But can everyone co-exist with Clark returning? This might sound ridiculous, but it can become a problem. Aliyah Boston is a post player who needs her touches to excel. Last year, she attempted 11.5 shots per game, which was a career high. In Clarkâs absence, Kelsey Mitchell stepped up and was an All-Star player and made All-WNBA First Team. Mitchell, like Boston, also had a career high in field goal attempts with 9.3 per game. If the biggest problem the Fever have is that there is just one ball, then thatâs a good problem to have. However, even good problems are problems. Indiana has to figure out how to have these three All-Stars co-exist in perfect harmony. Thatâs a difficult thing to master on the fly. The Fever will most certainly be using training camp and preseason games to try and master the mathematics of this tricky equation. Yet, itâll likely be a year-long work in progress and one of the most important things head coach Stephanie White will have to figure out.
Speaking of White, sheâs also going to have the spotlight on her this year. Sheâs tasked will balancing her teamâs talent, determining how much offensive responsibility will be placed Clark compared to how much usage Boston and Mitchell should recieve. White runs the show in Indy, and thatâs been proven to be a good thing. Across five seasons as a head coach, White has never had a losing season. This year, with the expectation high, sheâll have to prove that she can handle all the outside noise and elevate her teamâs play. Weâll begin to see that a bit this weekend when preseason begins. The Fever take the court on Saturday, meeting the New York Liberty in Brooklyn (3 p.m. ET, ION). As preseason progresses, weâll begin to get a clearer understanding of how White envisions the rotations and responsibilities shaking out. Regardless of how good or bad things are in Indiana, one thing is for sure: It will be national news. They are the biggest thing in the WNBA, with just as many people rooting for success as there are hoping for failure. The focus is on the Fever.
