The energy was undeniable at Indiana Fever’s media day, as players and coaching staff made one thing clear — this team is locked in, dialed up, and ready for war heading into the 2025 WNBA season. After years of rebuilding, the Fever now look like a squad on the verge of making serious noise, and they’re not hiding it anymore.

A New Era with Superstar Power

At the center of it all is rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, whose arrival has turned the Fever into one of the most talked-about teams in the league. But don’t be mistaken — it’s not just about one player.

“We’re not here to be part of the league — we’re here to change it,” Clark said with confidence.

Paired with young star Aliyah Boston, the duo represents the future of the franchise — and perhaps the future of the league itself. On media day, their chemistry already seemed to be forming both on and off the court.

Veteran Voices Set the Tone

While the spotlight is on the new blood, the veterans aren’t taking a backseat. Players like Kelsey Mitchell and Erica Wheeler spoke about maintaining intensity and focus.

“There’s a lot of hype around us, but hype doesn’t win games. Execution does,” Mitchell said.

The coaching staff echoed that sentiment, emphasizing defense, pace, and accountability as the key pillars heading into gameday.

A Different Vibe — And Everyone Feels It

There’s something different in the air around this Indiana Fever squad. The interviews weren’t filled with clichés — they were filled with intent. Players looked sharper. Responses were crisper. Everyone, from the rookies to the veterans, sounded like they were chasing more than just a playoff spot.

“We want to be feared,” said head coach Christie Sides.
“And we’re going to earn that.”

Fans Are Buzzing — and So Is the League

With a sold-out crowd expected for opening night, social media exploding, and ticket sales surging, the Fever aren’t just getting serious — they’re becoming must-watch basketball.

From media day to gameday, Indiana is stepping into a new identity — one that’s built on heart, hustle, and the belief that the time is now.
