The Indiana Fever will wrap up its three-game preseason slate on Saturday in a matchup with the Atlanta Dream.
With there being a game on Saturday, the team made sure to take some time on Friday to celebrate senior advisor Linn Dunn. The Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame member led the Fever to its only title in franchise history in 2012, and after spending some time at Kentucky from 2016-22, has worked with the Fever in multiple capacities since.

Dunn is celebrating her 78th birthday on Saturday, which led to the team giving her some flowers and snacks as a celebration. As a result of her gift, Dunn hit what could be considered a version of the iconic “stanky leg.”
A dance that left 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year, Caitlin Clark, almost speechless when asked for her thoughts by the media.
“Oh that was…I’ve never seen anything like that,” Clark said. “Pretty incredible, pretty incredible.”

Aside from commenting on Dunn’s dancing, Clark also touched on a leg injury that kept her out of the Fever’s first game of the preseason against the Washington Mystics, and has reportedly kept her limited in practice.

“I feel really good, honestly,” Clark said. “Excited to get out there and play again tomorrow. Work on things that we need to work on.”
The Fever have won its first two preseason games, taking down the Mystics without Clark, and also knocking off the Brazilian National Team in a game that was played at Clark’s alma mater, Iowa.
As for the Dream, they have played just one other preseason game, taking down the Mystics in what was Brittney Griner’s debut with the team.
The game is set to tip at 3:00 p.m. ET and will air on WNBA League Pass.
