The Connecticut Sun are all too aware of who they are playing against in the first round of the WNBA playoffs.

Before Sunday’s home game against the Indiana Fever at Mohegan Sun Arena, the Sun couldn’t resist taking a subtle jab at the visiting fans who came to cheer on Caitlin Clark and the Fever.

The Sun showed several Fever fans on the big screen as part of a “bandwagon cam,” a not-so-subtle trolling tactic. The caption on the big screen read: “Loyal Fever fan since 2024.”

Fever fans, however, didn’t seem to mind the jibe in the least. Many still stood up and cheered for the camera, proudly wearing or holding up Clark’s number 22 jersey.

Clark’s impact on the WNBA was astonishing in her rookie season, as she not only set numerous league records, but also helped sell out stadiums nationwide and increase game attendance. Fox Sports analyst Michael Mulvihill reported that Clark’s Fever games averaged nearly 1.2 million viewers on television during the regular season, which was nearly three times the audience for all other WNBA games (394,000 viewers).

It’s no surprise that Fever fans – both the OGs and the hangers-on – are enthusiastically supporting their team in its first postseason appearance since 2016. The Sun and Fever will play a best-of-three series, with the winner moving on to play either the Minnesota Lynx or the Phoenix Mercury.
