The Indiana Fever are back. When they drafted Tamika Catchings, Indiana had their best run in franchise history. Now the franchise has found their new superstar in Caitlin Clark. She led the Fever to their first .500 record and playoff appearance since 2016, but this is only the beginning.

The 22-year-old will win Rookie of the Year after a historic season. She brought a new audience to the W and continues to revolutionize the game with her outside shooting. Clark is gearing up for her first playoff experience, but there is plenty to digest from her first year in Indiana.

Clark’s record-breaking became normal. Seemingly every game she did something unusual, and here is an in-depth look at the marks she set in year one.
