While the Indiana Fever’s 2025 WNBA playoff run came to an end on Tuesday night, Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton was still impressed with the team’s overall performance.
“Ton of injuries, bunch of midseason additions, resilient all year,” Haliburton wrote in a post on X. “Inspiring s–t.”
The Fever suffered a 107-98 overtime defeat at the hands of the Las Vegas Aces in Game 5 of the WNBA semifinals, narrowly losing the best-of-five series.
Indiana’s playoff appearance and subsequent postseason run was particularly impressive considering the numerous season-ending injuries to key players that the team experienced, headlined by star point guard Caitlin Clark appearing in just 13 games.
The Fever also lost four of their first six games to begin their 2025 campaign and struggled with inconsistency throughout the year. They eventually closed out the season on a high note, ranking No. 3 in the league in net rating over the final 10 games of the regular season (via WNBA.com).
Indiana quickly faced elimination to open its first-round playoff matchup with the Atlanta Dream by losing Game 1, but went on to emerge victorious in the next two contests against the Dream to win its first playoff series since 2015.
Haliburton, who has made appearances at several Fever games throughout the year, applauded the team’s final effort.
