Brittney Griner #42 of the Atlanta Dream drives against A'ja Wilson #22 and NaLyssa Smith #3 of the Las Vegas Aces in the fourth quarter of their game at Michelob ULTRA Arena on August 19, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Aces defeated the Dream 74-72.

Overview

  • Indiana beat Seattle 95-75 to improve to 20-18, sweep the season series, and move into sixth with six games remaining.
  • Caitlin Clark missed her 16th straight game with a right groin injury and has yet to go full speed in a live team practice.
  • White outlined a cautious, “no regression” plan that calls for Clark to handle contact and endurance across multiple practices before clearance.
  • Aliyah Boston led with 27 points and nine rebounds and became the fastest player in Fever history to reach 1,000 career boards.
  • The Fever have not clinched a playoff berth, hold the tiebreaker over Seattle, and visit the Sparks on Aug. 29 as injuries and heavy roster turnover continue to test depth.
