The Indiana Fever are riding a four-game win streak into Sunday’s matchup against the Seattle Storm, which will likely mark the Fever’s seventh consecutive game without All-Star guard Caitlin Clark due to a right groin injury.
The Fever improved to 16-12 on the season and 8-7 without Clark in the lineup after an 88-78 win over the Dallas Wings on Friday, which saw four of the Fever’s four starters reach double-digits in scoring. Kelsey Mitchell led the way with 23 points and three assists, in addition to double-doubles from Aliyah Boston (12 points, 11 rebounds) and Natasha Howard (11 points, 16 rebounds).
Meanwhile, the Storm are coming off a 108-106 double-overtime loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday. Nneka Ogwumike recorded a season-high 37 points and 12 rebounds in the loss. She became the sixth player in WNBA history to record 7,000 career points and the first to do so while shooting at least 50% from the field.
The Fever and Storm have faced each other one other time this season, with the Fever coming away with a 94-86 win at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle on June 24. Boston scored a career-high 31 points in the win, while Mitchell added 26 points. Clark was held to six points, nine assists and three steals.
Skylar Diggins, who turned 35 on Saturday, had 22 points and six assists in the losing effort.
