Caitlin Clark returns to action: How to watch Fever vs. Lynx on Friday
View Date:2024-12-23 20:09:56
Friday's WNBA clash in Indianapolis will be a battle to try and stop two unstoppable forces in Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier in what could be a preview of the first round of the postseason.
Clark and the Indiana Fever (18-16) will take on the Minnesota Lynx (24-9) on Friday evening in Indy. The Fever are in the midst of a red-hot five-game winning streak and have won nine of their past 11 games to transform their season.
A favorite for the Rookie of the Year honor, Clark recorded her second career triple-double Wednesday to help her team to a 93-86 win against the Los Angeles Sparks. Clark was already the first WNBA rookie in history to record a triple-double with her first in July, but she now joins the likes of Alyssa Thomas, Courtney Williams, Sabrina Ionescu and Candace Parker as just the fifth WNBA player to record multiple in a season. Clark also shot 4 from 10 beyond the arc to set the WNBA record for the fastest player to reach 100 3-pointers in a season.
The Lynx also enter Friday’s matchup with winning momentum on their side. They have won eight of their past nine games, including a narrow victory over the Chicago Sky on Sept. 1. The Lynx's only blemish in that stretch was an upset loss to the Dallas Wings on Aug. 30.
The last time these two teams met on Aug. 24, the Lynx dealt the Fever their most recent loss, powered by Collier’s dominant 31-point performance. With both teams on top of their game, Friday's outcome may hinge on which side can better contain the star power of Clark or Collier on the court.
Both teams have already clinched playoff spots, with Minnesota currently holding the No. 3 seed and Indiana sitting at No. 6. If the league standings remain unchanged, the Fever and Lynx will face each other in a best-of-three first-round playoff series, marking Indiana’s first postseason appearance since 2016.
