Introduction

The Indiana Fever are getting ready for the 2026 season. They want their players to be healthy and stay with the team.

Main Body

Some players are hurt. Aliyah Boston had a leg injury in February. Coach Stephanie White is careful. She wants Aliyah, Ty Harris, and Lexie Hull to play on April 9. Caitlin Clark will stay with the team until 2027. This is good for the team. If Caitlin plays very well, she can get more money and a longer contract. Caitlin played in a game against the New York Liberty. Her team won 109-91. She played for 17 minutes and got seven points.

Conclusion

The Fever play the Dallas Wings this Thursday. Their first real game is on April 9.

πŸ•’ The Time Jump

In this text, we see how to talk about the future using simple words.

Pattern: Using 'Will' and 'On'

When we know exactly when something happens, we use on + the date.

  • Example: "...to play on April 9."
  • Example: "...game is on April 9."

When we talk about a promise or a future fact, we use will.

  • Example: "Caitlin Clark will stay..."
