Caitlin Clark turns Fever practice into an unexpected show with jump over Sophie Cunningham
But that wasn’t all. Caitlin Clark wasn’t content with just watching. Seconds later, she joined in the chaos, playfully stepping on Cunningham herself, sparking laughter from teammates and creating a viral moment that quickly spread across social media.
This routine, part of the Fever’s now-traditional half-court shot challenge to end practice, has evolved from a simple contest into a reflection of the team’s competitive spirit and strong camaraderie.

Makayla Timpson: The rookie stealing the spotlight
Just 16 games into her rookie season, Makayla Timpson has gone from an under-the-radar newcomer to a key contributor.
Her second straight win in the half-court challenge not only shows her growing confidence but also her deeper integration into the Indiana Fever core led by Caitlin Clark.
A 2025 Draft pick out of Florida State, Timpson is the only one of the team’s three draftees still on the roster and that bet is already paying off.
She’s averaging 2.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, and nearly 50% shooting from the field, numbers that back up her continued presence.
An unusual celebration that says a lot about the Fever
The leap over Cunningham captures what the Indiana Fever are building: a young team filled with chemistry, character, and tremendous future potential.
And if Caitlin Clark has made one thing clear, it’s that she can turn even a practice into an unforgettable event.
