2nd season in the WNBA
2nd season in the WNBA
Fox Sports Net Midwest
The 2001 Indiana Fever season was the franchise's 2nd season in the WNBA and their 1st season under head coach, Nell Fortner. In the 2001 WNBA draft, the Fever drafted Tamika Catchings as the 3rd pick, but due to a college injury, she missed the entire 2001 season. With that, the Fever tied with two teams with the worst record in the Eastern Conference, only ahead of the Detroit Shock and the Washington Mystics.
