On Saturday, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever collided with the Atlanta Dream at Gateway Center Arena.
With the 2025 WNBA season around the corner, today's game is the last chance for fans to see players in preseason action before the 2025 season tips off.
So far, Indiana has looked dominant throughout the preseason, picking up a win over the Washington Mystics thanks to some impressive play from Sophie Cunningham, and a win over the Brazilian Women's National Team in Caitlin Clark's big return to Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
On the flip side, the Dream were able to pick up a big win of their own over the Mystics on Wednesday thanks to a big game from Brittney Griner, who led the way with a double-double, and Nia Coffey, who flirted with a double-double of her own.
Following today's preseason showdown between the Fever and the Dream, Atlanta will tip off the regular season with a game against the Mystics on Friday, while on the flip side, Indiana will collide with the Chicago Sky next Saturday.
With the Dream looking to return to the postseason and make it out of the first round for the first time since 2016, and the Fever looking to cement themselves as true title contenders, the 2025 WNBA season seems poised to deliver fireworks for both teams.
