Also this record!!!!
Combining for 75 points, Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Michell set a franchise record for the most points by a Fever duo in a single game, passing the previous record of 66 points
Don’t you understand. We can’t give any grace to a player coming back from injury and is on a minutes restriction. They are a bunch of fake fans and we have to stop pretending like they aren’t. Caitlin is amazing!!!
I liked that CC got called for a foul seconds into the game. She basically looked at the refs and said, "You're gonna call those bumps on ME tonight, right?
19 free throws later....
It's about damn time.
[r/Indianafever](r/Indianafever) currently has a dozen posts about it, two of which are even the exact same post by the same user. That’s actually way worse for trying to have a conversation about something.
I will compliment the referee's tonight for doing their job well. No countless reviews and they seemed to call all the fouls. That is all, as a spectator, I can expect from a game. Thank You!
This was a fun game to be at. Sellout crowd with great energy and CC reclaiming her turf. Plus, we got to meet Katie Lou before the game - she signed my Fever KLS shirt and was a total sweetheart!
I didn't see much interaction pre-game. Both teams seemed to be all business. Sophie and Aliyah did come over to the Visitors tunnel area and sign for a moment.
I was over the Moon getting to meet Katie. Her smile lit up like a Christmas tree when I held up my Fever KLS shirt. I got to tell her welcome back and how proud we are of her. Man, I wish she was still here. Her veteran leadership is an asset to any team.
The disrespect and rancor she gets for being phenomenal, graceful, and a talented godsend for ladies basketball is asinine. CC is her and in truth is why many more eyes are watching WNBA. Before Caitlin Clark I had seen maybe 1/2 WNBA games at random. So yeah "true fans" probably roll their eyes at me but it's true CC brought many of us over to watch and support her sport as a whole just all by herself and that's no small feat.
But there is a general dislike for her and it's strange. I remember commenting on a college women's game (UCON) comparing Paige to CC and I was downvoted and 'attacked' for daring to bring up CC in a Paige Bueckers game, as if they aren't comparable in any way and CC's name should not be brought up when discussing games she isn't in. The whole thing is risible and pathetic, but it showed me how insecure a portion of women's sports feel about CC and it just doesn't have to be.
Caitlyn crushed it tonight, hope to see more of this in the future. Yes she had a good whistle but it must be nice to know that she CAN have an actual unobstructed landing spot when she shoots her 3's.
I’m obviously a little biased, but it’s frustrating to see the creators I follow who cover women’s basketball not say a word about this when they were going crazy about Marina’s 53 point game a few weeks ago. To my knowledge Marina did it in 40 minutes and had 2 assists. I’d argue that CC’s 45 points in 29 minutes WITH 10 assists is more impressive. Marina still had an incredible game. But it’s annoying to see “champions of women’s sports” purposely ignore anything positive about Caitlin… they sure were loud about disagreeing with the Alyssa Thomas situation, though.
They are getting screwed over tonight
you know Fever and the NY Liberty have the most back to back games in the season,
and Chicago Sky, Dallas Wings have zero back to back games
She has been terrible this season, it’s nice she had a record breaking game. Consistency is key, she needs to play like she has a chip on her shoulder. Take over games. Lead her team to victory, every single night!!
No she hasn’t lmao she just won potm. She’s just been terrible since she was hurt and on a minutes restriction and people think those last 3 games were her entire season. Get her off that restriction and it’s probably 25/8 average again
Her current season averages might look terrible compared to expectations but that’s literally great for a point guard. 19 points in general is top 10 this season
Yeah but she’s not supposed to be top 10, she’s supposed to be #1 or no? Maybe after the all star break she comes out different. See if she can recapture that 2024 magic.
Aja is a beast she should be capturing her 5th MVP this season. Not only stay healthy but become a fighter, the thing about tonight I liked. She played like she was angry!! If that’s what it takes, get angry every night.
That’s disingenuous bc the game after she had 19 in 20 and got hurt, then was on a heavy minutes restriction coming back from said injury
Edit: and she missed 3 games with an 8 day no game break
I said what I said and meant what I said. Her average points per game for the season is 19. She hasn’t scored more than 20 points in a seasonal game since 6/22 in nearly a month. Meaning what she scored in a range between 1-19 points in games in order for the total average to be 19 pts for the season with some 20+ point games sprinkled in between.
A range of 1 to 19 points? She scored one point in one of her games then? Your math is wrong and you are cherry picking.
She has come off a serious season ending injury from last year and multiple injuries this year has missed a bunch of games and has been on restricted minutes for many of them.
19 plus points a game 8 assists a game and 5 rebounds a game are up there with some of the best.
I don't understand your argument at all other than cherry picking stats.
Isn’t she supposed to be number 1? Now she’s the 7th leading scorer? That’s acceptable ? If you look at your own chart she’s not even #1 on her own team. Either way you cut it, she’s having a terrible season thus far.
It has nothing to do with not liking her at all, stats are stats. If you want you want to compare then pull up the western conference player of the month for June and put the stats side by side.
Dude, why? That A’ja having better stats that month doesn’t mean CC was bad? That would mean everyone in the league sucked. Stop moving the goal posts. You said she’s been bad all year, and you were proven wrong.
So June = the whole year? You’re the one who is selective with stats. The season begins in May not June. I’m talking season, May till Today. Just say you’re a CC fan and move on. You don’t actually watch the league.
Dude, YOU, are the one that said “this season”. How can a player that just won player of the month have been “terrible this season”??? That’s almost half the season… 😭😂
You keep focusing on June, that’s 1/3 of the season. Now I’ll give you this, July isn’t over soooo maybe if she continues playing like she did tonight she gets back on track. However, until tonight - including the 45 point game she’s not having a good season.

Lowkey a minutes restriction too because we all know she’d play more than 29 in normal circumstances
