Caitlin Clark Earns All-WNBA First Team Honor Again — and the Fever Are Hyped
The Indiana Fever star made the All-WNBA First Team for the second time, while big changes are happening behind the scenes for the team.
The Indiana Fever are celebrating again. On Sunday, the WNBA announced its 2026 All-WNBA First Team, and Fever guard Caitlin Clark made the list for the second time in her young career. Her teammate Kelsey Mitchell also earned the honor, making it a big day for Indiana's backcourt.
Clark was joined on the All-WNBA First Team by some of the best players in the league. They included A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces, who won the WNBA's Most Valuable Player award, Minnesota Lynx rookie Olivia Miles, and New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart. It is a list of five players who stood out above everyone else this past season.
The Fever were quick to share their excitement on social media. They posted several messages on the platform X to honor Clark. One message read, 'CC was front-page news all season,' along with a graphic of Clark standing in front of a newsstand. Another post said, 'PG1 without a doubt. congratulations Caitlin Clark on All-WNBA First Team,' with a fire emoji to go along with it.
The team also shared a highlight video of Clark making impressive plays. The video showed her blowing past defenders and hitting big jump shots. Their final message was short but powerful: 'no one in the world like CC congrats to Caitlin Clark on All-WNBA First Team honors.'
Clark had an outstanding season on the court. She averaged 22.3 points, four rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game. The Fever made the playoffs but lost to the defending champion Las Vegas Aces in the first round, falling two games to one in a best-of-three series.
This is the second time Clark has made the All-WNBA First Team. She also earned the honor as a rookie in 2024. In just three seasons, she has already broken records and made history, though some fans wonder if the Fever can build a championship team around her.
Big changes are happening off the court for the Fever. On Friday, ESPN reported that team president Kelly Krauskopf stepped down, and general manager Amber Cox was fired. These front-office shake-ups came even after the team had a record-breaking season with 28 wins — its best ever. Head coach Stephanie White is expected to keep her job through all of these changes.
The Fever also have some important roster decisions to make this offseason. Kelsey Mitchell can become a free agent, meaning she could sign with another team. There has also been controversy surrounding reserve player Sophie Cunningham. Fans and reporters are closely watching to see how the team's roster will look next season.
Clark's future with the Fever looks bright, though. She is seen as the cornerstone — or most important building block — of the franchise. Under the WNBA's new labor agreement, she will be able to sign a much bigger contract in 2027, partly because she has now made the All-WNBA First Team more than once. For Indiana, keeping Clark happy and surrounded by great teammates will be the key goal going forward.
