"We never doubted ourselves. We never doubted that we could be in the playoffs, even if things looked like it got harder,"
"I think through everything, you're able to see us play with joy and stay together, regardless of who's on the floor."
"With all the stuff that we've been through, most teams would have folded, and we just kept getting stronger,"
"These women in the locker room deserve a lot of credit for their ability to stay resilient, to stay together, to stay hungry and to stay the course."
Indiana Fever secured a playoff spot with a 94-65 victory over the Washington Mystics despite losing Caitlin Clark and four other players to season-ending injuries. The team reached consecutive postseasons for the first time since 2005–2016, ending a seven-year drought. Aliyah Boston produced 12 points and 11 rebounds in the clinching win. Coach Stephanie White highlighted the roster's resilience and unity after the team's largest road victory of the season. With one regular-season game remaining, the Fever will finish no worse than the No. 7 seed and can reach No. 6 depending on Golden State's results; the 23rd win set a franchise record during the 44-game season.
