The Fever won the2024 WNBA draft Lottery and were awarded thefirst overall pick for the second year in a row; they used it to selectCaitlin Clark.^[2] The number one pick did not lead to a fast start to the season as the Fever lost their first five games, the closest of which was a two-point loss toSeattle on May 22. The Fever would win their next game againstLos Angeles to earn their first win of the season. They would go on to lose their next three games, including a rematch against Los Angeles to finish the opening month 1–8. June brought about a vast improvement from the team. They defeatedChicago by one point to open the month. They lost toNew York, defeatedWashington, and then lost toConnecticut before going on a four-game winning streak. They would lose their next two games before winning the final game of June to finish the month with a 7–4 record. The Fever went 1–2 to start July but defeated New York. They defeatedPhoenix andMinnesota before losing toDallas. The team finished July 3–3 and headed into the Olympic break with an 11–15 record.

The Fever returned from the Olympic break and won their first two games of August. They lost in Minnesota by ten-points before winning their next three games. The highlight of August was a nineteen-point victory over Chicago. The team finished 5–1 during the month, and moved solidly into playoff position. They won their first two games of September and on September 3, 2024, the Fever clinched their spot in the2024 WNBA Playoffs, ending their seven-year playoff drought (the longest in WNBA history).^[3][4] They would go on to lose three of the next four games, including back-to-back losses toLas Vegas. They defeated Dallas by one point and lost to Washington by one point to finish September 4–4.

They were swept in the series two games to zero, losing the first game 69–93 and the second game 81–87. Despite the sweep, the Fever made great strides, posting their highest regular season win total since2015.
