Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark brought both elite performance and high fashion to Barclays Center, unveiling the Nike Caitlin 1 “Teal Fade” during a marquee matchup against the New York Liberty.
The striking colorway features a vivid teal upper that transitions into deep navy blue toward the heel, anchored by metallic gold Swooshes. The dynamic look pays a subtle homage to the New York Liberty’s signature colors while making a bold statement on the court.
Adding to the buzz, Clark racked up 21 points and 7 assists while climbing to fourth in Fever franchise history for career three-pointers. Expected to drop in 2027, the “Teal Fade” cements Clark’s growing footprint in basketball sneaker culture.
The Indiana Fever couldn’t complete the comeback in Brooklyn on Saturday night, dropping a 109-102 decision to the New York Liberty at Barclays Center in the fourth and final regular-season meeting between the two clubs. This is Indiana’s second straight loss for their 5 game road trip, but it did little to dampen the bigger picture: the Fever are already a lock for the 2026 WNBA playoffs, and every game left on the schedule is now about seeding rather than survival.

New York controlled most of the night behind a balanced, healthy attack — something the Liberty hadn’t had in weeks. Jonquel Jones got going early despite a banged-up ankle, scoring 17 points and grabbing seven rebounds in the first half alone as New York built a 53-49 lead at the break. The Liberty tried pulled away in the third quarter when Sabrina Ionescu and returning forward Leonie Fiebich combined for 19 of the team’s 31 points in the period, stretching the lead to 85-78 heading into the fourth.
Indiana didn’t go quietly. The Fever clawed back to tie the game at 100 late, powered by a Kelsey Mitchell three-pointer, before New York closed the door at the free-throw line and on a tough Fiebich bucket through contact with under a minute remaining. A missed Caitlin Clark layup on the ensuing possession sealed New York’s win.
The result moves the Liberty to 23-15 on the season, while the Fever slip to 24-14.

The Indiana Fever extended their winning streak to five games with a hard-fought 101-95 road victory over the Toronto Tempo.

Between August 10 and 16, Caitlin Clark posted 25.7 points and 9.7 assists per game while shooting 50.9% from the field, earning her second AP Player of the Week award of the 2026 WNBA season. Across an impressive 11-game stretch that featured three victories and two double-doubles, she became the first player in WNBA history to average 26.3 points and 9.4 assists.

The Indiana Fever escaped State Farm Arena with a 95–91 overtime victory over the Atlanta Dream on Sunday, a crucial result with major playoff-seeding implications. The win extended Indiana’s (23–12) lead over Atlanta (21–13) to 1½ games, evened the season series at 2–2, and denied the Dream a head-to-head tiebreaker with ten regular-season games remaining.
The game was a back-and-forth battle throughout. Atlanta closed the first half on a 17-4 run for a 44-40 lead, powered by Allisha Gray, who finished with a career-high 32 points. The Dream stretched the lead to eight in the third quarter before Indiana’s defense clamped down, holding Atlanta to nine points in the fourth as the Fever clawed back to tie it.
Atlanta had the final look to win it in regulation, but the chance slipped away: Rhyne Howard’s missed three set up an Angel Reese putback that rolled off the rim, and a second attempt off a Naz Hillmon rebound also failed to fall, sending the game to overtime tied at 81.
Atlanta briefly grabbed the lead in overtime, but Indiana answered with a decisive run. Makayla Timpson was the story of the extra period, repeatedly scoring in the paint on her way to a career-high 20 points. Aliyah Boston added a double-double game, and the Fever pushed the lead out before Atlanta cut it to 93-91 in the final seconds. Caitlin Clark, who finished with 26 points and 9 assists, sealed it with two free throws and the game’s final rebound.

Caitlin Clark led the Fever with a game-high double-double of 29 points and 10 assists.

Professional women’s basketball is making its long-awaited return to Northeast Ohio under a bold new identity: the Cleveland Sirens. Unveiled by Rock Entertainment Group at Rocket Arena, the name marks the official branding of the WNBA’s 16th expansion franchise, which is scheduled to begin play in the 2028 season.
Departing from the city’s original WNBA moniker—the Cleveland Rockers—the Sirens brand draws direct inspiration from Greek mythology and the magnetic power of Lake Erie. Designed to reflect a spirit that is sharp, fearless, and unapologetic, the identity highlights a presence built to command attention. The team’s visual palette introduces Sirens Blue, Erie Blue, and a mint foam accent, incorporating wave motifs that pay homage to both local geography and the rising tide of women’s athletics.
Led by team president Allison Howard, the franchise has already secured major community partnerships and thousands of season-ticket deposits well ahead of its debut. Sharing Rocket Arena with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Sirens are set to deliver year-round professional basketball back to Northeast Ohio.
In one of the most explosive offensive clashes of the WNBA season, the Minnesota Lynx held off a relentless fourth-quarter rally by the Indiana Fever to secure a 108–100 victory at Target Center. Both teams came out firing in a blistering first quarter that ended tied at 36 points apiece—matching the league record for the highest-scoring opening period. Minnesota seized control in the second quarter to build a 64–53 halftime lead, eventually extending their advantage to 96–82 midway through the fourth quarter before Indiana mounted a furious late run.
Indiana cut the deficit to 100–98 with under three minutes remaining, but crucial late baskets from Minnesota’s backcourt sealed the win. The Lynx out-executed Indiana down the stretch, capitalizing on a 12 to 6 turnover advantage and an 11–5 edge on the offensive glass to notch their 10th consecutive victory.
Rookie sensation Olivia Miles spearheaded Minnesota’s hyper-efficient offense, pouring in 28 points. Miles set the tone in the second quarter with a dominant 14-point frame that gave the Lynx room to breathe. Paired with Courtney Williams’ 27-point effort, Miles displayed poise beyond her years, orchestrating key possessions in the final minutes to fend off Indiana’s comeback attempt.
Veteran guard Kelsey Mitchell was nearly unstoppable for Indiana, finishing with a game-high 37 points on a remarkably efficient 14-of-21 shooting from the field, including 6-of-8 from beyond the arc. The performance marked her fifth 30-point game of the season and her 14th consecutive game scoring 20+ points—the second-longest such streak in WNBA history behind only A’ja Wilson.

The Indiana Fever closed out the first half of their 2026 season with an offensive clinic, thrashing the Connecticut Sun 123-88 on Wednesday, July 22, in their final game before the WNBA All-Star break. The 35-point margin marked the second-largest win in franchise history, while the 123 points set a new single-game franchise record.
Indiana’s star trio — all set to represent the Fever at All-Star Weekend in Chicago — set the tone from the opening tip. Caitlin Clark posted a commanding double-double with 27 points and 11 assists, shooting an efficient 8-of-13 from the field, including 5-of-9 from beyond the arc. Kelsey Mitchell continued her hot streak, adding 23 points and knocking down at least three three-pointers for the tenth straight game. Aliyah Boston rounded out the trio with a strong all-around performance in the paint.
The Fever were nearly unstoppable from deep, connecting on 11 of 22 three-point attempts while shooting 62% overall from the field — building a big first-half lead they never relinquished. Connecticut struggled to keep pace, with Diamond Miller leading the Sun with 15 points in a game Connecticut played without Aaliyah Edwards and Brittney Griner.
Carrying big momentum into the break, Indiana (17-10) heads into All-Star Weekend looking like one of the most dangerous offenses in the league.

The Liberty relied heavily on their franchise leader, Breanna Stewart, who did everything possible to keep New York afloat by scoring a team-high 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting. However, New York folded under the Fever’s pressure, turning the ball over nine times in the third quarter alone. Indiana capitalized on those mistakes, outscoring New York 63–39 in the secondhalf to secure a statement 20-point victory. The Liberty remain without Satou Sabally, who is still in concussion protocol, and Leonie Fiebich, who is nursing a left foot injury.
The win over the Liberty came on the second night of a back-to-back, just 24 hours after the Fever defeated the Storm.
