Indiana Fever Retire Tamika Catchings' No. 24

Tamika Catchings was the No. 3 pick in the 2001 WNBA draft. 

On Saturday, the team that drafted her, the Indiana Fever, retired her jersey in honor of her status as the first player in franchise history. 

The ceremony took place just before the Fever took on the Los Angeles Sparks at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis:
