Caitlin Clark-led Indiana Fever played a thrilling season opener against the Dallas Wings, marking the end of a 10-month wait for a meaningful game on her home court. The game was sold out and marked the return of fans to a sold out arena for the first time since Clark's home game in 2005. Despite a disappointing performance from Clark, the Wings held on for a 107-104 victory, with Paige Bueckers scoring 20 points and joining the 1,000-point club. The WNBA schedule gave fans what they wanted after a period of uncertainty over the season. Despite an injury scare, Clark survived and finished the game despite leaving the bench twice in the second half to have her back worked on. The nationally televised matinee between Clark and Bueckingers was a highlight.
