Caitlin Clark has cleared the questions surrounding her basketball future. On Thursday, the Iowa star declared for the 2024 WNBA Draft.
Clark’s announcement blindsided the masses ahead of her final regular-season game at Iowa. The electrifying guard is set to pass Pete Maravich as the NCAA Division-I all-time leading scorer on Saturday before competing in the Big Ten and NCAA Tournament.
Leading all of women’s D-I college basketball with 32.2 points and 8.7 assists per game, Clark is the type of prolific playmaker who is almost certain to be selected No. 1 overall in the WNBA Draft.
As winners of the 2024 WNBA Draft lottery, the Indiana Fever are on the clock, and it just so happens that Clark’s s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 set fits perfectly with franchise player and 2023 Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston.
What else is there to know about Clark’s likely WNBA team? The Sporting News breaks down the Fever’s roster, 2023 record, and more below.
Indiana Fever 2023 record
The Fever finished the 2023 season with a 13-27 record, which was actually only the third worst in the league.
However, since the WNBA combines each team’s record from the previous two seasons to determine the draft lottery odds, Indiana still had the best chance to land the No. 1 pick with a league-worst 18-58 mark over 2022 and ’23.
Reigning Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston was the good luck charm that the Fever needed her to be, serving as as Indiana’s representative at the draft lottery back in December.
