The Indiana Fever have been the most talked about team in the WNBA over the last two seasons.
The addition of Caitlin Clark in 2024 has done wonders for the organization. Ticket sales, television ratings and jersey sales have all gone up exponentially.

This year, they reached the semifinals of the WNBA playoffs despite losing Clark, Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson, Aari McDonald and Chloe Bibby to season ending injuries.
They lost in a winner-take-all Game 5 to the Las Vegas Aces, who then went on to win the WNBA title. The loss came in overtime and the score was 107-98.
On Wednesday’s edition of the “Post Moves with Candace Parker & Aliyah Boston” podcast, Aces coach Becky Hammon was a guest.

Hammon revealed her true feelings about the Fever after playing them, the Seattle Storm and the Phoenix Mercury.
“Indiana actually was probably the hardest series I’ve been through,” Hammon said. ” And you know what? It’s funny, Aliyah [Boston], you’re sitting there, but it’s like, I was pissed after Game 5. I’m sure you were more pissed. But we’re going to the finals, but then I went back and watched it. CT calls me, Candace [Parker], at like 3 in the morning. She’s like, you still mad? And I was like, no. I’m like, Indiana just played their (expletive) off.”

Hammon then went on to say Boston and her Fever teammates “played amazing.”
“You guys played amazing. Can’t be mad at either team. It was just two teams, blow for blow, back and forth. And both teams really playing at an elite level. I don’t care what the names on the jerseys are. Those were two teams just going at it in the best way possible, I thought. Super competitive, down to the wire, obviously, in most of those games. And so this one, this one hit different for sure, though, because it was different.
