The Indiana Fever owes everything to Caitlin Clark.
The Indiana Fever defeated the Chicago Sky 93-58 in their WNBA season opener on Saturday, but the contest was overshadowed by what happened between Clark and Angel Reese.
Clark was able to put on a show in front of the sold-out crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, tallying a triple-double with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. Reese started her year with a double-double as she tallied 12 points and 17 rebounds.
Unfortunately, the headline of the game wasn’t the Fever’s win, but an incident that led to Clark receiving a flagrant foul and a technical for both Reese and Aliyah Boston.
Midway through the third quarter, Reese grabbed an offensive rebound and attempted to go back up for the putback layup. However, Caitlin Clark grabbed the former LSU star to avoid giving up an easy two points and gave her a slight shove, sending Reese to the ground.
Both teams were separated from the scene as the officials reviewed the play and handed out their punishments.
In the meantime, the Fever are riding high, not only because of the win, but also because of Caitlin Clark’s enormous impact on the franchise.
Indiana recently became the first women’s basketball franchise to reach one million followers on any social media platform.

In 2025, the Indiana Fever will have 41 of their 44 regular season games nationally televised, the most for a single team in WNBA history.
According to team officials, the Fever will have its nationally televised games broadcast across the league’s TV partners, with five on ABC, five on ESPN, eight on ION, six on Prime Video, three on CBS, four on CBS Sports Network, and 10 on NBA TV.
This is all because of Caitlin Clark.
Due to high demand, several WNBA teams have moved their home games against Caitlin and the Indiana Fever to larger arenas.
This includes teams like the Atlanta Dream, Chicago Sky, Connecticut Sun, Dallas Wings, Las Vegas Aces, and Washington Mystics.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is not the most popular guy on TV. That much was apparent while he was calling the Wild Card game between the Broncos and Bills for CBS on Sunday.
Romo, who has done very little to hide how much he admires Buffalo QB Josh Allen, had some praise for the MVP favorite while he was attempting to take his team to the Divisional Round.
Some fans felt like he was being overly gracious, while some simply couldn’t stand him talking in general.
“STFU AGAIN ROMO!!!!!!!!! I’M TIRED OF YOUR BILLS AND CHIEFS GLAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE SICKENING ASF!!!!!!!!!!” an X user wrote.
“Can we start a petition to ban Romo from calling games,” another asked.
“Can Tony Romo get off his kneees for Josh Allen?” someone else chimed in.
“Tv muted when romo starts talking,” a fan claimed.
Tony Romo’s Partner Reached Impressive Milestone
While Romo was getting slammed, his broadcast colleague touched an impressive milestone.
Jim Nantz has been with CBS for over 40 years and reached his 500th game with the network calling Sunday’s fixture.
Nantz and Romo have been working together for seven of those 40 years.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.
In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.
“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.
Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
