In the 2024 WNBA regular season, the Indiana Fever have performed noticeably better. The squad had a rough start with a 1-8 record, but they were able to turn things around with four straight home victories to improve to a 6-10 record.
If the season ended today, the Fever would be in the postseason for the first time since 2016 thanks to their incredible comeback.
In the midst of this encouraging momentum, the squad had a nice vibe during their Friday pregame shootaround against the Atlanta Dream.
Caitlin Clark and NaLyssa Smith had a humorous but powerful exchange as the practice session came to an end. Smith got things started by making a half-court jumper that went in.
She quickly let Clark know about her accomplishment, laying the groundwork for a cordial challenge. Clark responded by showcasing her abilities by making a half-court shot of her own and then wildly celebrating in Smith’s face.
This conversation was especially important in light of the current worries regarding NaLyssa Smith’s dedication to the Fever.
These questions surfaced when it was revealed that she was dating Connecticut Sun guard DiJonai Carrington, a renowned opponent of Caitlin Clark.
Fans were reassured by the moment of mutual support and strong friendship that Clark and Smith shared during practice, even in the face of other distractions.
In addition to showcasing their basketball skills, Clark and Smith’s lighthearted banter also emphasised the team spirit and unity of the Fever.
This is encouraging for the team’s chances of making the playoffs and for their further success as the season progresses. The Fever’s strong play and the apparent friendship between players like Smith and Clark point to a bright future for the group in the WNBA.
