Women’s basketball legend Sheryl Swoopes had questions about Caitlin Clark for a time last year. Swoopes is intrigued by Clark and the rest of the Indiana Fever this year.
“The team that made the biggest moves, and maybe the best moves, is the Indiana Fever,” Swoopes told ESPNW. “I think the Indiana Fever from just being in the playoffs last season to potentially winning a championship.”

Swoopes loves the additions of “O.G.s” DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard (for “defensive presence”), the development of Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell (“a walking bucket”) and noticed Clark’s offseason regimen.
“How much stronger she got, and you know she was in the gym working on her game,” Swoopes said of Clark.

“This Indiana Fever team, they have put the pieces together in this offseason, and I’m excited to see what they’re going to do,” she said.
The Fever earned their first playoff berth since 2016 with a 20-20 record in 2024 as Clark won Rookie of the Year and first-team All-WNBA honors, and Boston and Mitchell were also All-Stars. They have since changed coaches, with Stephanie White taking over for Christie Sides, and about half the roster.
