2014 Indiana Fever season
15th season in the WNBA
The 2014 WNBA season was the 15th season for the Indiana Fever of the Women's National Basketball Association. This was Fever's seventh and final season under head coach, Lin Dunn. In the preseason, Dunn announced her plans to step down at the end of the 2014 season. Their season tipped off on May 16.
Fever star forward, Tamika Catchings missed the first seventeen games of the 2014 season due to a back injury she described as a "pinched disc." During that time without Catchings, the Fever went 8–9. She returned to play on July 5 against the San Antonio Stars in a close 70–71 loss with Catchings contributing 6 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists in 20 minutes played for the Fever.
The Fever finished the season with a record of 16–18, which placed them second in the Eastern Conference and fifth overall. In the 2014 WNBA playoffs, the Fever swept the Washington Mystics in the conference semi-finals. In the conference finals against the Chicago Sky, the Fever took game 1 at home but ultimately lost the series 1–2.

Why this record matters
The phrase “15th season in the WNBA” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 4, 2026.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
