Indiana Fever celebrated a big-time win on Sunday as the team rallied past the Dallas Wings 102-83 to go above .500 on the season with a record of 11-10.
In the game, star guard Caitlin Clark notched her fifth double-double of the year, putting up 14 points, 13 assists and five steals (tied career-high) in just 25 minutes.
Complimenting her in the post was teammate Aliyah Boston, who scored 17 points along with three rebounds, three assists and a block on 7-of-11 shooting.
After the game, a sideline reporter caught up with Clark to inquire about her recent decision to select Boston with the No. 1 overall pick to join "Team Clark" for the WNBA All-Star Game.
Clark said, "Oh yeah, that was an easy one. Easy choice as GM. AB's had an incredible year and so has Kels. So, I'm just really happy for both of them and should be a fun All-Star."

As one of the 2025 All-Star captains, Clark assembled her roster on July 8 during an hour-long edition of WNBA Countdown on ESPN.
She selected Boston with her first pick, followed up by New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu No. 3 overall.
Clark then drafted her other Fever teammate, Kelsey Mitchell, first overall in the reserves round.
Her other two selections in the starter round were Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson and Satou Sabally of the Phoenix Mercury.
Despite battling a couple of nagging injuries earlier in the season, Clark has maintained her status as one of the league’s premier playmakers.
Through 12 games, she is averaging 16.7 points, 9.0 assists (second in WNBA), 4.8 rebounds and 1.7 steals per contest.
