Caitlin Clark makes her long-awaited WNBA regular-season return today as the Indiana Fever open their 2026 campaign with a high-profile clash against Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd, and the Dallas Wings from Indianapolis’ Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
With the former Hawkeye back to full health prior to her third professional season, Indiana will look to showcase its offensive firepower this year en route ot possibly securing its first WNBA championship since 2012.
On the other side of the court, the Dallas Wings enter the 2026 season with sky-high potential after assembling a youthful core duo through back-to-back No. 1 overall picks in Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd.
Interestingly, this game features the WNBA’s No. 1 overall draft picks from each of the past four seasons, with Aliyah Boston (2023) and Caitlin Clark (2024) on the Fever, and the previously mentioned Bueckers (2025) and Fudd (2026) on the Wings.
