Tyrese Haliburton Reveals Fever Jersey He Needs, and It's Not Caitlin Clark's
Tyrese Haliburton Reveals Fever Jersey He Needs, and It's Not Caitlin Clark's originally appeared on Athlon Sports. While some thought there was a chance that the Indiana Fever would come into Thursday's game against the Las Vegas Aces a tad sluggish, they hit the ground running in a big way. Advertisement The Fever are fresh off an WNBA Commissioner's Cup championship win over the Minnesota Lynx even without star guard Caitlin Clark. They are also fresh off a postgame celebration that seemed to extend well into the night, worrying fans that there would be a bit of a hangover on Thursday evening. However, Indiana quickly silenced those concerns, as they went into halftime with a 46-24 lead, getting a tremendous showing from recently signed guard, Aari McDonald. Through her first 21 minutes of action, McDonald did a bit of everything, recording six points, three assists and also sporting a +/- rating of +22. She also earned a new fan in Indiana Pacers superstar Tyrese Haliburton. The hero of the Pacers' NBA Finals run this past season took to X to express just how much of a fan he is. Advertisement Indiana Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton is a fan of Indiana Fever guard Aari Terada-Imagn Images "I need a Aari McDonald jersey," wrote Haliburton. The Olympic Gold medalist and two-time NBA All-Star has been a frequent supporter of Clark and the Fever, receiving the same treatment from Clark whom at one point was the Pacers' good luck charm during the playoffs. As for McDonald, she has the epitome of an underdog story. She went from being a temporary player for the Fever—thanks to the WNBA's emergency hardship exception and injuries—to eventually being given a full-time roster spot. Without Clark available, she has picked up the slack in a big way and has also caught the attention of those around the WNBA.

Caitlin Clark's Priceless Reaction to Stephanie White Getting a Technical
Caitlin Clark's Priceless Reaction to Stephanie White Getting a Technical originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Coming into Thursday's game, the Indiana Fever had lost their last 16 meetings against the Las Vegas Aces. Advertisement Many assumed that the streak of losses, which dates back to 2019, would continue due to the team's circumstances. For Thursday's bout, the Fever were without Caitlin Clark (groin) and Damiris Dantas (AmeriCup). They were also a couple of days removed from winning the WNBA's Commissioner Cup Championship against the Minnesota Lynx, which led to a rowdy party in the locker room. Despite the odds being against them, the Fever blasted the Aces, winning by a score of 81-54. The Aces didn't lead for a single second of the game, shooting just 26.2% as a team from the field and 18.8% from three-point range. Even though the game was never in doubt, Fever head coach Stephanie White received a technical in the fourth quarter after she screamed at an official. Advertisement While the fact that this came while the Fever were up by around 20 points is hilarious in its own right, Caitlin Clark seemed to be as hyped as ever after the call. Not only did Clark, who is notorious for going after officials, high-five White for getting a tech, but she also appeared to shout a profanity-laced message of encouragement.

As for when the team will get Clark back, that is yet to be determined, as White made it clear in the build-up to Thursday's game they were taking it slow with her. The Fever return to action on Saturday, as they'll be hosting the Los Angeles Sparks, the second of their five-game home stand.
