Indiana Fever players meeting Simone Biles and Gabby Thomas is the most joyful thing you will see today

The vibes are immaculate in Indiana.

The Indiana Fever had themselves one heck of a night on Wednesday. The team beat the Connecticut Sun, one of the best teams in WNBA, Caitlin Clark set the league record for threes by a rookie, and legends were waiting to meet the team in the locker room.

The team could hardly contain their excitement upon meeting gymnastics legend Simone Biles and track star Gabby Thomas. It also gave us another incredible opportunity to see Biles standing next to a basketball player, which is already a delight.

The vibes in Indiana haven’t been this good in years. The Fever are 15-16 on the season, 7th in the East — and while that might not seem impressive in isolation, consider that a year ago this team finished the season 13-27. It took a while for the team to gel, but now they’re on fire with a 7-3 record in their last 10 games and quickly becoming one of the most dangerous teams in the WNBA.
