Fever fans react to Caitlin Clark, Indiana preseason win

•Yahoo Sports

Fans rejoiced as Caitlin Clark made her return to the court in WNBA preseason action with the Indiana Fever.

After Indiana opened its 2026 WNBA preseason with a 109-91 win over the New York Liberty on Saturday afternoon from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N. Y. , Fever fans rejoiced on social media to the team's dominant performance and celebrated the return to action of franchise cornerstone point guard Caitlin Clark.

While Clark did not have quite the explosive game many are accustomed to seeing from the Hawkeyes legend, scoring just 7 points on 2-for-10 shooting, Indiana earned valuable offensive production from several key starters and players off the bench. Leading the way offensively for the Fever were Kelsey Mitchell and Shatori Walker-Kimbrough, each scoring 18 points on a combined 14-for-23 shooting, followed by Sophie Cunningham's 13, Makayla Timpson's 11, and rookie Jessica Timmons' 10 points, rounding out the double-digit scorers. Saturday's contest was the first of three Fever preseason games this year.
