Indiana’s biggest basketball stars couldn’t be more proud of the Indiana Fever’s WNBA playoff run that ended with an overtime loss in a decisive Game 5 of the league semifinals against the Las Vegas Aces.
And both know the pain in more ways than one. The Fever’s Caitlin Clark and the Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton have been sidelined by injuries: Clark by a groin injury that limited her season to 13 games; Haliburton with an Achilles tear in Game 7 of the NBA Finals that will keep him out all of the upcoming season.
Clark posted on social media postgame: “So much to be proud of ❤️❤️ shoutout the fans for staying with us all year❤️❤️🙏🏻@IndianaFever”
Haliburton, who has become fast friends with Clark in her two years in Indianapolis, added: “S/o @IndianaFever!! Ton of injuries, bunch of midseason additions, resilient all year. Inspiring shit”
