Basketball sensation Caitlin Clark may be less than two weeks away from making her WNBA, but she already has a championship on her mind.

However, do not expect Clark and the Fever to compete for the title in the upcoming 2024 season, but the No. 1 overall draft pick is hoping to end Indiana's playoff drought.

"Yeah, I think (a championship) is certainly where our organization wants to get back to, but I think our goal this year is to get back to the playoffs, building blocks slowly one step at a time, you can’t put all your eggs in one basket," Clark told ESPN on Wednesday.

The Fever advanced to the WNBA Finals in 2015 and qualified for the postseason the following year. However, the franchise has largely struggled over the past seven seasons.
