Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever have officially clinched a playoff berth.
The Fever backed into a playoff spot on Tuesday night thanks to a pair of losses elsewhere in the league. That has the franchise into the postseason for the first time since 2016, which was the longest active playoff drought in WNBA history.
Their playoff drought also matched the longest in league history. The Chicago Sky missed the playoffs in their first seven seasons in the league.
The Fever did not play Tuesday, but made it in thanks to losses by the Sky and Atlanta Dream. The Las Vegas Aces rolled over the Sky in Nevada 90-71 behind a 30-point night from A’ja Wilson. The Dream fell to the Phoenix Mercury 74-66 in Arizona. Both the Dream and the Sky dropped to an 11-22 record on the season, and the Fever hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over both of them.
The Fever are the sixth team to clinch a playoff spot this season, joining the New York Liberty, Connecticut Sun, Minnesota Lynx, Seattle Storm and Aces. The Mercury also clinched a playoff spot with their win and Chicago’s loss in Las Vegas. There is one playoff spot left.
Clark has averaged 18.7 points, a league-high 8.4 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game this season. The former Iowa Hawkeyes star dropped a career-high 31 points and added 12 assists in a win over the Sky on Friday, which made her the first player in league history with a 30-point, 12-assist game. She also broke the WNBA rookie 3-point record last week. She’s averaging three 3-pointers per game, which is behind only Dallas star Arike Ogunbowale’s 3.1 per game.
The Fever have seven games left in the regular season, starting Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Sparks.
