The Indiana Fever return to the WNBA playoffs first time in quite some time as they take on the Connecticut Sun. Stay here for updates.

Caitlin Clark's WNBA career began in ignominious fashion back on May 14 when she turned the ball over 10 times in a blowout loss to the Connecticut Sun. Four months later, the No. 1 overall pick has the Indiana Fever back in the playoffs for the first time since 2016, and hopes her playoff debut against the same opponent will go a lot better.

“She’s fine. She’s a warrior,” said player development coach Jhared Simpson during the broadcast, via Chloe Peterson of the Indianapolis Star. Mitchell's early exit paved the way for Indiana’s backups to get significant playing time, with Kristy Wallace stepping up, scoring 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting in extended minutes.
