    Caitlin Clark Remains Silent in Loss to Mystics as Fans Prepare for Fever’s WNBA Playoffs Run | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats & Rumors

    Caitlin Clark’s historic first regular season in the WNBA came to an end on Thursday when the Indiana Fever lost 92-91 to the Washington Mystics.

    With Indiana already clinching the sixth playoff spot, many of the Fever’s stars, including Clark, saw limited action in the loss. Clark played just 20 minutes, scoring eight points and totaling eight assists and five rebounds.

    Even with Indiana’s starters resting for much of the game, the Fever bench stepped up and made things interesting, though they were unable to come back. Still, it’s a positive sign to see strong play from the bench for the playoffs.

    It was only fitting that one of the most anticipated WNBA seasons in league history ended with record attendance.

    While the game ultimately wasn’t that important for the Fever, fans were still somewhat disappointed that Clark had a quiet end to the season.

    Why is Caitlin Clark on the couch? Where is Boston? What’s going on?

    I’m shocked they even had Caitlin Clark play tonight, but there are so many disappointed people watching the Fever Backups play the Mystics.

    Wow! Caitlin Clark hasn’t scored in the 2nd half.

    CAITLIN CLARK 5 field goal attempts?!! Eight points?! Why are they robbing the fans and letting people rest?! They are not good at letting people rest. Horrible.

    Caitlin Clark is still not on the field as we start the 4th. It seems that the coach still decides to let her rest. #WNBA

    It seems like both sides want to lose on purpose. Let Caitlin Clark turn up the heat before the 4th quarter is over 🤭

    Now, the Fever begin preparations for their first round matchup against the Connecticut Sun. It’s safe to say that fans are excited for the playoff matchup between the two teams.

    It’s going to take a huge effort on my part not to spend too much money on tickets to the Connecticut Sun/Indiana Fever playoffs

    That’s fine, The Sun will be knocked out by The Fever in the first round anyway!!

    The Sun Fever series is about to get really spicy

    . @ArtHOP2

    The first round of the Fever and Sun series is expected to be a success. I can imagine that Fever will actually pull off that surprise.

    Fever Sun first round ooooh weeeee

    This season marks Indiana’s first playoff appearance since 2016, a testament to the difference Clark, Aliyah Boston and other young stars have made early in their careers.

    Clark finished her rookie year averaging 19.5 points, 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game, and it would be a surprise if she didn’t take home the Rookie of the Year award. Now coming off a historic regular season, she’ll look to lead the Fever to playoff success.
