It’s been an impressive season for Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever to say the least. Clark entered the weekend ranking third in the WNBA in scoring while leading the league in assists with 21.9 points and 8.3 assists.
The All-Star guard was at the center of another big win Friday against the Dallas Wings, finishing with 29 points and 10 assists as Indiana rallied for a 98-87 victory. But Clark wasn’t the only Fever player with a notable performance.
Tyasha Harris played a major role, scoring 15 points while going 5-for-5 from the field, including five 3-pointers, in just 17 minutes. It was especially notable because Harris had not made a field goal in her previous six games.

While Clark continues to dish out assists during games, she may have just scored her teammate another dime, this time away from the basketball court.
During their postgame media availability, Clark appeared to remove an Olipop drink from view. The move prompted Harris to jokingly ask why superstars do that and whether it was because they were not sponsored by the brand.
Clark explained that she does not drink Olipop before turning the moment into an opportunity for her teammate. She noted that Harris is available for endorsements and encouraged brands to sign her.
Olipop took notice of Clark’s pitch, responding to her comment on X and offering Harris an invitation to discuss.
What started as a playful exchange between teammates could now turn into an endorsement opportunity for Harris.
Harris will hope to build on Friday’s performance when Indiana begins a five-game road trip Sunday against Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream.
Atlanta sits just half a game behind the Fever in the standings at 21-12. The matchup tips at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN and Disney+.
