The Indiana Fever are not experiencing the 2024 regular season they had anticipated. Their record fell to 2-9 following a blowout loss to the New York Liberty on Sunday.
However, there is a silver lining for the Fever as they prepare to face the Washington Mystics in their next game, the only WNBA team with a worse record at 0-8. Caitlin Clark had her worst performance in the league so far, scoring just three points against the Liberty.
Despite this setback, Clark remains a beloved figure among her teammates. Fever forward NaLyssa Smith shared an Instagram story on Monday, reposting an Indiana Fever video featuring Clark. Smith’s caption, “gooo caityyyy” accompanied by two giggling emojis, indicates a playful and affectionate team atmosphere. It appears that “Caity” is a new and humorous nickname the team uses for Clark, possibly because Clark herself doesn’t favor it, adding to its amusement.
As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see if the nickname “Caity” continues to be used by her teammates, highlighting the camaraderie and support within the Fever despite their challenging season.
