HEART BREAK NEWS: Caitlin Clark officially announce his Resignation and Departure From Indiana fever today due to………READ MORE.

The Indiana Fever secured a 71-70 victory against the Chicago Sky at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, marking their second win of the 2024 WNBA season and their first at home. All five Indiana starters scored in double figures, with Kelsey Mitchell and NaLyssa Smith leading the way with 18 and 17 points, respectively.

“It was great, and I think it came at a really great time,” Clark said after winning the inaugural Commissioner’s Cup game. “Our fans were awesome. They were energized. You know we really didn’t shoot the ball well at all collectively as a team and you know sometimes that’s hard for the fans, like that’s what they come to see. But I think they really appreciated our great defense tonight.”

This contest was about much more than scores or stats, though.

It featured three of the top seven picks from this year’s draft – three players in a generational rookie class who could all become the new faces of the WNBA – and a week in which Fever fans were treated to seeing each of the top four draft picks and five of the top seven.

This time, Clark got the upper hand on two of the women who prevented her from winning an NCAA championship even as she took a shoulder shot from the Sky’s Chennedy Carter before an inbound pass during the third quarter. The refs called it an away-from-the-ball foul.

After the game, Carter said she wouldn’t take any questions about Clark. Reese, who appeared to applaud Carter’s foul on Clark, did not take questions from reporters following the game. On Sunday, the WNBA said Reese had been fined for “failing to make herself available to the media for interviews”.

Clark was asked about her view of the incident after the game.

“It is what it is,” she said. “I feel like I’m just at the point where you accept it and don’t retaliate. … I’m trying not to let it bother me.”
