The Fever finished the 2024 regular season with a strong late push, securing a playoff berth and ending a seven-year playoff drought. The team went 17-16 after the Olympic break and solidified their spot with key wins in August and September. This marked a notable turnaround under head coach Christie Sides.[1][2]

In the playoffs, Indiana faced the Connecticut Sun in the first round and were eliminated in two games, with the Sun advancing 2-0 in the series. Notable performances came from Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark in the series, though the Fever could not overcome Connecticut.[2]

Some mid-to-late-season roster changes and injuries affected the team’s depth, with reports indicating key players were sidelined later in the 2024 season, which influenced lineup decisions and rotation strategy. Despite that, the Fever maintained momentum into September and clinched a playoff spot, highlighting the resilience of the core players.[3][1]
