Overview
- Caitlin Clark took part in non-contact shootaround with the second unit but has not returned to full practice and still has no timetable to play.
- Lynx forward Napheesa Collier, who missed seven games with a right ankle injury, was listed as probable for Sunday’s rematch in Minneapolis.
- The Fever’s backcourt depth is depleted after season-ending injuries to Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald, increasing Kelsey Mitchell’s burden as the primary scorer.
- Minnesota won Friday’s matchup 95-90, led by Jessica Shepard’s 22-11-10 triple-double and Kayla McBride’s 29 points, while Kelsey Mitchell scored 27 for Indiana.
- Betting models and previews project Minnesota as a strong favorite, reflecting Clark’s continued absence and the Lynx nearing full strength.
