Caitlin Clark will square off against Kate Martin and Megan Gustafson Saturday
But first, Clark’s Indiana Fever play in Seattle and Los Angeles
So sang John Denver once upon a time, and it has little if anything to do with what Caitlin Clark and the WNBA’s Indiana Fever faces this week.
Nonetheless … here are the 0-4 Fever’s games, times, and TV for the rest of this week:
Wednesday: At Seattle, 9 p.m. (CT). Amazon Prime
Friday: At Los Angeles, 9 p.m., Ion
Saturday: At Las Vegas, 8 p.m., NBA TV
The Las Vegas Aces take a 2-0 record into their home game against Phoenix Tuesday, then are off until Indiana rolls into the lair of the two-time defending WNBA champions.
Las Vegas, of course, has former Hawkeyes Megan Gustafson and Clark’s four-year Iowa teammate and bestie, Kate Martin. The 6-foot Martin had a money moment last Saturday in the Aces’ 89-82 win over Los Angeles when she blocked a shot of 6-7 Li Yueru.
Said to be the 12th player on the 12-player Aces, Martin played 26 minutes in that game and had five rebounds, three assists and her first pro 3-pointer.
“She’s high-energy always in practice,” said Aces star A’ja Wilson, who had 22 points in that game. “So it was just a matter of time that it translates over to the game. So we were all excited and hyped for her.”
The Aces knew something. They drafted her higher than she was expected to go, at 18th. Now they’ve thrown her into the fire immediately, and she was ready.

Another Ace is former Iowa center Megan Gustafson, who played 15 minutes and scored five points in Las Vegas’ opener last week, an 89-80 win over Phoenix.
And get this: She apparently will make $100,000 more than her rookie salary of $67,249 because of bonus payments being given to the Aces by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
“I’m super thankful,” Martin said last week. “Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming, but this is very much real life, and that is what all these players deserve. I wouldn’t be getting this crazy bonus if it weren’t for how great all of these players have played in the last few years.”
Las Vegas likes its Aces.
