The WNBA's highest-paid star might just be the answer to the Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark questions, according to a reporter's insight. With over 100 players now unrestricted free agents, the league is set for unprecedented player movement. But first, a new collective bargaining agreement needs to be finalized. Once that's done, it's going to be a big deal, especially for teams like the Fever, who are desperate to fill their gaps. The question on everyone's mind is how the team will thrive once Clark returns next season. The No Offseason: The Athletic Women's Basketball Show crew discussed this, highlighting the difference between the Caitlin Clark version of the Fever and the makeshift version that worked well with Odyssey Sims and Kelsey Mitchell. The real challenge is finding that secondary guard position to complement Clark's skills. The Fever currently have only three players locked in for 2026: Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Makayla Timpson. Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham are restricted and unrestricted free agents, respectively, with Hull expressing interest in returning. Kelsey Mitchell, Indiana's top priority, had an impressive season, making her a strong candidate to stay. The buzz is about adding a forward who can stretch the floor and create space for Clark. But if not, there's always the possibility of luring another Indiana star back to the Fever. The 2026 WNBA Draft is loaded with potential franchise-changers like Lauren Betts, Azzi Fudd, Flau'jae Johnson, and Olivia Miles. However, the Fever might find a sweet spot with the No. 10 pick and Yarden Garzon, a 6'3'' sharpshooting guard who spent three years with the Indiana Hoosiers before transferring to Maryland. Garzon's range and height would be an ideal complement to the Fever's young core, aligning with Indiana's goal of surrounding their stars with consistent perimeter shooters. If the Fever lose any guards or don't land a major name in free agency, Garzon could be the perfect, cost-effective fit.
