The Indiana Fever’s social media team recently stirred up some buzz by showing support for Caitlin Clark while subtly throwing shade at Angel Reese in a new tweet.
The Fever posted a highlight reel featuring Clark sinking multiple three-pointers, accompanied by a caption that made it clear who they believe deserves the Rookie of the Year title. “Caitlin Clark’s three-point game? Elite. Our rookie of the year can put on a show,” the tweet read.
Clark has been a standout performer in the first half of her rookie WNBA season, impressing fans and analysts alike with her sharpshooting abilities. She’s been shooting 32.7% from beyond the arc, while averaging 17 points, eight assists, and 5.8 rebounds per game. As the second half of the season approaches, Clark is poised to continue her strong performance and solidify her case for Rookie of the Year honors.

However, the race for the award is far from decided.
Clark and Angel Reese are widely considered the top contenders, and the Fever’s social media team made it clear where their loyalty lies. But Clark will need to maintain her high level of play to clinch the award, especially with Reese also in the running.
The Fever are set to resume their season after the Olympic break with a matchup against the Phoenix Mercury on Friday, August 16, at 7:30 p.m. ET. Following that game, they’ll face the Seattle Storm on Sunday, August 18, at 3:30 p.m. ET.
As the competition heats up in the latter half of the season, all eyes will be on Clark and Reese as they vie for the coveted Rookie of the Year title.
The Fever’s bold endorsement of Clark adds an extra layer of excitement to the already intense race.
