The matchup will mark the Fever’s first home playoff game in eight years and Clark urged the fans to pack the arena and rally behind Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston and the rest of the team."First home game since 2016," Clark said in a video shared by the Fever. "I need to see every single person in Indianapolis, whether you're inside the arena, could be outside of the arena, I don't care. Show up. Get loud for my teammates. We need to get a dub and then we're taking back to Atlanta. LET'S GOOOOOO!"
