The WNBA has been on hiatus for almost a month, with many of the league’s top stars taking part in the women’s basketball tournament at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, which finished on Sunday.
Caitlin Clark, of course, wasn’t one of them after the was left off the Team USA roster, with USWBNT coach Cheryl Reeve going for experience over youth.
After a slow start to the season, Clark and the Fever came into form in the WNBA before its break for the 2024 Olympic Games.

As a result, we haven’t see the 22-year-old in action since July 18, when her Indiana Fever lost 101-93 to the Dallas Wings. But Clark and the Fever are now gearing up for their returns to action, namely a home game against the Phoenix Mercury on Friday, August 16 (tip-off at 7:30 p.m. ET).
After an incredibly slow start to the season, Indiana were trending in the right direction in the run-up to the Olympic break. And one man has more reason than most to hope
Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports and well-known pizza reviewer, has placed a $100,000 bet on Clark and the Fever to win the WNBA Finals at the end of the season at odds of 100/1 (+10000). If it happens, Portnoy stands to make $10.1 million.
