With WNBA playoffs on horizon, there's a 'different adrenaline' for Indiana Fever
The Indiana Fever restart their season Friday, and they control their own destiny albeit a tough path to guaranteeing hosting in the playoffs.
The Indiana Fever are gearing up for the WNBA playoffs, with a newfound sense of urgency and adrenaline. The team's top performers, Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston, played six games in Berlin during the FIBA World Cup, returning to the U.S. in a state of fatigue. Coach Stephanie White, who also assisted Kara Lawson's staff in Germany, emphasized the team's motto: "Standard over feelings."
Indiana is currently tied with Atlanta for the fourth spot in the standings, with both teams at 26-14. If both win out, they would tie for the fourth spot at 30-14, with the tiebreaker going to the team with a better record against over .500 teams. Indiana needs to win its remaining games against top-seeded Minnesota to secure the No. 4 spot and host the first round of the playoffs.
