There’s a WNBA team like the Minnesota Lynx, which is dominating the league and winning over every team. There’s a team like the Dallas Wings who are hitting rock bottom with their stats. But there’s also a team like Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever, which has been winning it all over, on and off the court.
Ahead of their big matchup against the Dallas Wings on Tuesday, Clark and her teammates rolled out the welcome mat for five Special Olympics athletes. The thoughtful camp turned a regular game prep into a feel-good moment. And guess what, the fans loved all of it.
