This was the first glimpse of Clark's game ahead of her sophomore season after she concluded her historic rookie campaign last year. After Sunday's game, the 2024 Rookie of the Year remarked on the reformed Indiana team as she expressed confidence for their upcoming season.

"We got a new team, so it's gonna take some time to put it all together. But I think everybody's thankful, we've got some really great veterans who've won before and then we got some people back and Steph's amazing and our staff, so should be a great season," Clark said via YahooSports.com.

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever have one more preseason game remaining before they officially kick off their 2025 campaign against the Chicago Sky on May 17.
