Overview

  • Caitlin Clark has made only 4 of 34 field-goal attempts in her past two games, including 1 of 17 from three-point range, as Indiana suffered consecutive defeats to the Golden State Valkyries and Las Vegas Aces.
  • Head coach Stephanie White has committed to retooling offensive schemes to generate higher-quality scoring chances for Clark and bolster her confidence.
  • With DeWanna Bonner on personal leave and Damiris Dantas departing soon for FIBA AmeriCup duty, the Fever face the prospect of playing with as few as nine available players.
  • Guard Sophie Cunningham publicly challenged WNBA officiating after a scuffle with the Connecticut Sun, arguing referees have not consistently protected Clark from physical play.
  • WNBA legend Cheryl Miller visited Clark after the loss in Las Vegas to offer mentorship and support during the rookie’s shooting struggles.
