Caitlin Clark will play in the WNBA playoffs in her rookie season.
On Tuesday night, despite it being an off day for the team, the rookie star guard led the Indiana Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016.
This also ended the team's streak of seven seasons without a postseason appearance, which tied the longest in WNBA history.
The No. 1 draft pick, widely considered the front-runner for WNBA Rookie of the Year, and the Fever advanced to the postseason thanks to Las Vegas' 90-71 win over Chicago and Phoenix's 74-66 victory over Atlanta on Tuesday night.
Indiana improves to 17-16 with Sunday's win, its first winning record since June 2019 and good for sixth place in the league.
Eight teams qualify for the WNBA playoffs, with seven spots currently filled.
Phoenix (17-17) also missed the playoffs last year for the first time since 2012 but clinched a playoff spot on Tuesday.
Chicago and Atlanta, both 11-22, are battling for the final spot with Washington, which fell to 10-23 after beating Dallas 90-86 on Tuesday.
The New York Liberty, Connecticut, Minnesota, Las Vegas and Seattle had already qualified for the postseason.
Clark had an impressive rookie season.
She has appeared in 33 games and is averaging 18.7 points, 8.4 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game.
During his illustrious career, Clark led the Iowa Hokies to two NCAA championship games and became the all-time leading scorer in Division I basketball earlier this year.
This recent incredible feat led to the end of the friendship between WNBA legends Nancy Lieberman and Sheryl Swoopes.
