Caitlin Clark’s solid performance in the Indiana Fever’s final preseason game has fans buzzing with anticipation for the upcoming WNBA season. Her impressive display of skill and leadership on the court has only heightened expectations amongst fans ahead of the regular season.
Caitlin Clark Shines in Final Preseason Win
Clark exploded off the bench in the Fever’s final preseason tune-up, scoring 13 points, dishing seven assists, and hauling in six rebounds in just 23 minutes to help Indiana close out an undefeated 3–0 exhibition slate with an 81–76 win over the Atlanta Dream.
The Indiana star injected life into the Fever’s backcourt, tallying her 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting. She had just two turnovers and was +3 for the game.
Clark’s seven assists paced the Fever, as the rookie sensation’s elite court vision created open looks for teammates, while her six rebounds underscored a relentless motor that extended beyond scoring.
Beyond the box score, the former college phenom’s offseason strength gains were on full display. Clark powered through contact on drives to the rim and launched “logo 3s” with newfound ease — a development that Indiana coach Stephanie White had highlighted as being a result of the work she puts into her game.
Indiana seized control early, building a 26–16 advantage. In the second quarter, the Fever guard opened with a deep 3 and also assisted a Sophie Cunningham layup. Despite a late Dream push, the Fever held on. Lexie Hull (14 points) was Indiana’s star off the bench.
Fans React to Clark’s Preseason Showing
Clark’s electric performance had social media buzzing as fans flooded timelines with excitement and praise. From jaw-dropping passes to deep-range shot-making, supporters were quick to anoint her as a potential MVP candidate in the upcoming WNBA season.
One fan summed up the energy around her performance, writing, “Game ready. Season ready. MVP season ready.”
Another supporter highlighted her skill set and said, “The step-back 3 and full-court pass were my favorite plays. There are guys in the NBA who can’t make that step-back 3.”
Looking ahead, one other user predicted greatness: “Gonna be a historic season!”
A keen-eyed fan emphasized Clark’s playmaking growth and wrote: “Dawg, she could easily average like 11 assists per game. Maybe even more. Her vision is crazy. I think she won’t turn the ball over so much like she did last year.”
Clark’s seven assists in just 23 minutes support that claim, and her improved decision-making was evident to experts and fans throughout the game.
