The WNBA is back, and so is the Indiana Fever’s sass, or should we say, spicy social media game? After a month-long hiatus thanks to the Olympic Games, the Fever didn’t waste a second in making their presence felt—not on the court, but on Twitter. And boy, did they go for the jugular. Their target? None other than Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky rookie who’s been trying to steal Caitlin Clark’s Rookie of the Year thunder. Spoiler alert: it’s not going well for Reese.
Yesterday’s return to WNBA action saw some predictable outcomes—Minnesota Lynx comfortably handled the Washington Mystics, the New York Liberty obliterated the Los Angeles Sparks, and Phoenix Mercury cruised past Chicago Sky. But it wasn’t the games that stole the spotlight. Nope. It was a tweet from the Fever’s social media team that had everyone buzzing. And by “buzzing,” I mean cackling.
Fever’s Twitter Sniper Hits Target
As the Chicago Sky limped through their game against the Phoenix Mercury, Angel Reese had one of those nights you’d rather forget—unless you’re the Indiana Fever’s social media admin. Reese’s 4-14 shooting from the field (a sizzling 28.57% for those who love stats) was as cold as an Arctic winter, and the Fever wasted no time rubbing salt in the wound. They posted: “Caitlin Clark’s three-point game? Elite. Our Rookie of the Year can put on a show.”
The timing was pure chef’s kiss. As Reese and the Sky were getting hammered, Fever fans were treated to a digital mic drop that perfectly encapsulated their unbothered attitude. One fan chimed in with, “admin.. CHILLLL,” while another observed, “mao this new admin bro perfect timing I swear.” Clearly, Caitlin Clark has the Fever’s heart—and apparently, their Twitter feed, too.
Fever vs. Mercury: Who’s Bringing the Heat Tonight?
But the tweet wasn’t just a roast—it was a declaration. Tonight, the Fever face off against the very team that handed Reese and the Sky their embarrassing defeat. Will the Fever’s social media team have more shade to throw, or will Phoenix rise like the mythical bird it’s named after? The Mercury have three Olympic medalists who are practically running on fumes after back-to-back games. The Fever, on the other hand, are fresh, rested, and, if their social media game is any indication, ready to take no prisoners.
The Fever’s Final Push: Is Caitlin Clark Ready to Take Over?
With the WNBA playoffs just around the corner, every game counts. The Fever, who haven’t played since July 17th, are coming in with some serious momentum—on Twitter, if not yet on the court. Caitlin Clark, the Fever’s not-so-secret weapon, has been nothing short of spectacular this season. She’s third in the league in minutes played, averaging 17.1 points, and leading the WNBA with 8.2 assists per game. Oh, and did we mention she’s already shattered records like they were piñatas at a kid’s birthday party?
But all jokes aside, Clark isn’t just about breaking records—she’s about making history. The first rookie in WNBA history to achieve a triple-double, the league record holder for most assists (19) in a single game, and the heartbeat of a Fever team that’s eyeing the playoffs with laser focus.
Tonight’s game will be a test—not just of the Fever’s skill, but of their ability to back up their social media swagger with on-court dominance. Will Phoenix cool their jets, or will the Fever make it clear that Caitlin Clark isn’t just their Rookie of the Year—she’s their queen?
Stay tuned, because if tonight’s game is anything like that tweet, we’re in for a show.
