Caitlin Clark 's WNBA Rookie of the Year win sparked a ton of fan and player reactions. One of the many people that took to social media to congratulate the star was Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston . Boston reposted a picture from Bleacher Report that said "Was there ever a doubt?"

After a 2-9 start, Indiana made quick progress on those fronts. The Fever won seven more games than last season, breaking a seven-year playoff drought. They finished in the top half of league standings and were a trendy pick to upset Connecticut in the first round, or at least take a game from the Sun.
