Clark insinuated postgame that there was nothing malicious about the foul:

“It's just a good take foul. Either Angel gets wide open 2 points or we send them to the free throw line. Nothing malicious about it…every basketball player knows that,” Clark said.

Reese, despite the poor game for her team, put up a solid stat line as well. The former LSU standout dropped 12 points and grabbed 17 rebounds.

The Fever ended a seven-year playoff drought in 2024 in Clark's rookie season, finishing with a 20-20 record before losing in the first round to the Connecticut Sun. Clark has changed this franchise, and they added some nice pieces in the offseason, like Sophie Cunningham. But she was ruled out for the season opener.

Indiana is back in action on Tuesday against the Atlanta Dream. This win is nice and all, but it's only the start of what the Fever hope to be a very productive season that ends with a hopeful run to the WNBA Finals.
