Indiana Fever's rebuild plan could be complete after Caitlin Clark's decision to turn pro

Lin Dunn made it clear last summer the Indiana Fever were not tanking for a chance at the top overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. And the struggling franchise didn’t, finishing 10th of 12 teams with a promising future regardless of their lottery draw or which players entered the draft.

Instead, the stars aligned for the Fever general manager. In December, the Fever won their second consecutive No. 1 pick in the lottery. And on Thursday, Caitlin Clark said she would renounce her extra year of NCAA eligibility allowed under the COVID-19 guidelines and go pro following this season.
