Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever clinched a playoff berth without playing. Coach Christie Sides was already asleep Tuesday night when Chicago and Atlanta both lost to secure a postseason spot for her team.
Indiana Fever ’s Caitlin Clark makes a long pass upcourt in the first half of a WNBA basketball game against the Dallas Wings, Sunday, Sept. 1, 2024, in Arlington, Texas. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark leaps to the basket for a shot as Dallas Wings’ Arike Ogunbowale defends in the first half of a WNBA basketball game Sunday, Sept. 1, 2024, in Arlington, Texas.
“I usually go to bed by 9:30, 10 o’clock every night, but I did set my alarm for midnight to wake up and I actually just turned it off. Didn’t even look,” Sides said. “So this morning, I woke up to some really awesome text messages.” “The job is not done,” Wheeler said. “We still have six, seven more games and we can’t think ahead like that. Me being a vet, I know that for a fact. So for me, it’s not time to think about the playoffs. You’ve got seven games left.”A brutal early schedule coupled with Clark starting her pro career just five weeks after completing a 39-game college schedule contributed to Indiana’s early woes.
