While the Indiana Fever won't play in another WNBA preseason game until May 10, the wait this seek will feel like nothing compared to the 220 days they had to endure between seeing the Fever play in 2024 and their return this past weekend.

Clark, who missed the opener with a minor leg issue, returned in Indiana’s second preseason game on Sunday at Iowa’s Carver-Hawkeye Arena. She scored 16 points and delivered six rebounds and five assists in front of a sold-out crowd.

The Fever fan base has another reason to cheer its team, and the anti-Fever contingent found another reason to complain. Her name: Sophie Cunningham.
