The WNBA playoff picture sorted itself out in the final hours of the regular season Thursday night, right on cue for a league that often doesn’t tidy things up until the very end. No. 1 New York, No.

"Caitlin Clark is different," posted the Indiana Fever. Clark finished the 2024 season averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds. She led all rookies in scoring by a large margin, with Chicago Sky forward ANgel Reese coming in at No. 2 with 13.6 points per game.

Caitlin Clark had 21 turnovers through three games. Indiana started 1-8. But the Fever drowned out the outside noise to return to the WNBA playoffs.
