Caitlin Clark, Fever wrap season vs Mystics. What to know for Thursday

The end of the WNBA season is in sight.

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever have just one regular-season game before the playoffs as they travel to Washington to face the Mystics and fellow rookie Aaliyah Edwards on Thursday evening.

Clark has had a record-breaking rookie campaign after being selected as the No. 1 draft pick this year and has also made strides off the court, contributing to historic levels of WNBA viewership and social engagement. On Sunday, Clark became the all-time rookie scoring leader by breaking Seimone Augustus’ mark of 744 points. Clark poured in a career-high 35 points during the Fever’s 110-109 win against the Dallas Wings, and she currently has 761 points on the season.

Here’s what you need to know about the WNBA star’s final regular-season game this season.

When is Indiana Fever at Washington Mystics?

Date/Time: Thursday, Sept. 19
Time: 7 p.m. ET
Location: Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.

The Fever has just one regular-season game left – a road matchup against the Washington Mystics on Thursday evening.

All three of these teams’ previous meetings this season have been decided by seven points or fewer. The Fever won the first two games in June, but the Mystics survived a fourth-quarter surge from Indiana to take the most recent game July 10.

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever in the playoffs

The Fever clinched their playoff spot with seven games to spare in the regular season, thanks in large part to Clark’s on-court impact. Her playmaking and shooting abilities have re-energized Indiana, leading the team to its 14th playoff appearance in history – and its first since 2016. This season also marks the end of a seven-year playoff drought – the longest in WNBA history. The last WNBA regular-season games will be played Thursday, Sept. 19 with the playoffs scheduled to begin Sunday, Sept. 22.

Caitlin Clark rookie season stats

Clark leads the WNBA in both assists and made 3-pointers this season – a remarkable achievement for a rookie. She has been instrumental in Indiana’s success this season, playing an average of more than 35 minutes per game and averaging 19.5 points. She also made WNBA history as the only player to record a triple-double in their rookie season, accomplishing this feat twice this season.

Clark is the favorite to win the rookie of the year award over the Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese, whose season was cut short with a season-ending wrist injury Sept. 6.
