The 2024 WNBA season has been an exciting one for fans of women's basketball, and the recent matchup between the Indiana Fever and the Washington Mystics was no exception. In a nail-biting game that went down to the wire, the Indiana Fever emerged victorious with a final score of 85-83.
Both teams put up a strong fight throughout the game, showcasing their skills and determination on the court. The Washington Mystics, led by their star players, made several impressive plays and kept the pressure on their opponents. However, it was ultimately the Indiana Fever who were able to secure the win in this closely contested match.
Clark wound up tying the WNBA rookie record and setting the Fever rookie record with seven made 3-pointers. Her seven triples are tied with the Starzz's Elena Baranova (July 22, 1997), the Comets' Cynthia Cooper (July 25, 1997) and the Liberty's Crystal Robinson (July 24, 1999)
The Mystics' slump to open the season continued this week with a 76-59 loss to the Connecticut Sun and a 79-71 loss to the Chicago Sky. Washington ranks last in the WNBA in points per game (72.7) and offensive rating (92.2). Tonight's game is the second of a back-to-back following that loss to the Sky.
Friday’s game marks the first time this season the Samuelson sisters will go head to head in a WNBA regular season matchup. Fever forward Katie Lou Samuelson (in her fifth season) and Mystics guard Karlie Samuelson (in her fifth season) have only played against each other twice in the WNBA. This year in her first season with the Fever, Katie Lou is averaging 18.7 minutes per game, 4.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists. In her first season with the Mystics, Karlie is averaging 9.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
Additionally, Friday’s game will be the first time the 2024 WNBA No. 1 draft pick in Clark and the 2024 No. 6 draft pick Edwards face off this season. Clark and Edwards sit at spots three and four, respectively, in most rebounds per game amongst all rookies, with Clark averaging 5.1 and Edwards averaging 4.8. The last time Clark and Edwards met was on April 5 when Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes beat Edwards’ Connecticut Huskies, 71-69, during the NCAA Final Four.
