Caitlin Clark and Fever face elimination in Game 2

Stephanie White had a warning for everyone after Game 1 of the Connecticut-Indiana WNBA playoff series.

Alyssa Thomas is not normal, White said. And everyone needs to keep that in mind.

“It's crazy, right?” said White, the Sun's coach. She smiled. “We almost take it for granted. I hope we remember not to do that. It's not normal, guys, it's just not normal to have that many triple-doubles.”

White's comments, of course, were in reference to Thomas' fourth triple-double of the postseason, which the 11-year veteran recorded in Connecticut's 93-69 Game 1 win on Sunday. Thomas finished with 12 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds, just hours after learning she finished fifth in the 2024 MVP (or is that M'VP?) voting. The player directly ahead of her? Indiana star Caitlin Clark.
