INDIANA FEVER

The Fever surged from lottery team to playoff contender across 2024-2025, anchored by Caitlin Clark's record-breaking rookie campaign in 2024 that returned them to the postseason for the first time since 2016. Clark's arrival alongside 2023 Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston ignited a card market explosion, with Clark's rookie cards shattering records—multiple examples selling over $300,000, including a $660,000 sale that set the all-time mark for a women's athlete card. The 2025 season brought coaching change from Christie Sides to Stephanie White, a deeper playoff run to the semifinals, and consistent play from Kelsey Mitchell, whose scoring streak in 2026 has kept her cards in demand alongside the Clark-Boston duo that defines collector interest in this roster.

Where they stand: The Fever are 19-12 and sit second in the Eastern Conference as of August 9, 2026, building on consecutive playoff appearances. The offseason saw expansion draft losses, the re-signing of Mitchell to a supermax deal making her the franchise's first million-dollar player, and additions including Sophie Cunningham and Monique Billings to bolster depth around Clark and Boston. Mitchell just set a WNBA single-season record with her 16th consecutive 20-point game on August 8 in a win over Chicago.
