UNCASVILLE, Conn. — The Indiana Fever won the WNBA draft lottery for the No. 1 pick for the second consecutive season Sunday.
The Fever took Aliyah Boston ahead of last season with the top pick, and the former South Carolina star impressed on her way to being honored as the league’s rookie of the year.
“This is tremendous news for our franchise to receive another No.1 overall pick,” Fever general manager Lin Dunn said.
Now the Fever will have to wait to see who decides to enter the draft. Connecticut’s Paige Bueckers, Iowa’s Caitlin Clark and LSU’s Angel Reese all could head back to school for another year thanks to the extra season of eligibility allowed by the NCAA to athletes who were in school early in the coronavirus pandemic.
Clark,
