Indiana Fever welcome Caitlin Clark back to the team after Gold medal win at FIBA World Cup
Indiana Fever were happy to welcome Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston to the team after they won the 2026 FIBA World Cup with Team USA over the WNBA break. The Fever were among the few playoff-caliber teams in the WNBA to send more than one player to the FIBA World Cup, as both Clark and Boston represented the team in Germany while wearing USA colours.
Indiana Fever celebrated the return of Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston to the team following their respective gold medal victories at the 2026 FIBA World Cup. Both players were among the few WNBA stars to represent Team USA in Germany while donning the USA jersey. The Fever, who are aiming for a deep playoff run, brought their stars back to practice on September 17, with the team resuming action at home against the Toronto Tempo on September 18.
Video footage shows Clark and Boston greeted with enthusiasm by their teammates, including Sophie Cunningham and Raven Johnson. Clark averaged 7.8 points and 5.3 assists during the World Cup, while Boston contributed 6.2 points and 3.2 rebounds per game. Clark is currently averaging 22.5 points and 8.4 assists this season, and was named an MVP candidate.
Boston has averaged 16.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.3 blocks, serving as the team's defensive anchor. With only four regular-season games remaining, the Fever are preparing for the postseason, trailing the Atlanta Dream by just two games. The Dream hold the No. 4 seed and homecourt advantage due to their superior record.
Clark is poised to lead the Fever into the playoffs, aiming to replicate the deep postseason run achieved last season without her presence.
