Summertime has arrived!
Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are gearing up for a crucial matchup against Brittney Griner, Diana Taurasi, and the Phoenix Mercury.
This upcoming game is especially significant as it marks the first meeting of the season between the two teams.
With the Fever looking to rebound from a challenging streak that saw them lose their last two games, their record now stands at 7-12, underscoring their urgent need for a victory.
In the midst of preparations, Clark and several of her teammates took some time to unwind and recharge. Following a rigorous practice session on Saturday, they spent a leisurely afternoon at a local pool in Phoenix.
Among those enjoying the break were Clark, Lexie Hull, and Katie Lou Samuelson, creating a relaxed environment amidst the intense season. Lexie Hull captured the moment by filming a video of the joyful gathering and dubbed it a ‘pool party,’ which she later shared on TikTok, offering fans a glimpse into the team’s camaraderie and off-court moments.
