Overview
- The WNBA resumed play Tuesday with a five‑game slate and a national ESPN window that features the Indiana Fever at the Seattle Storm at 9:30 p.m. ET.
- Caitlin Clark is listed as probable (back) for the Fever‑Storm game, an availability update that frames immediate lineup and minutes planning for Indiana.
- Indiana enters the second half with a 17‑10 record, a three‑game win streak before the break, and a 2‑0 edge in the season series after Clark’s 45‑point, 10‑assist performance on July 17.
- Seattle has the league’s worst record at 6‑23, is on a six‑game losing streak, and will try to slow Indiana’s perimeter scoring without key interior stops.
- League context influencing the night includes the defending‑champ Las Vegas Aces with MVP A’ja Wilson, offseason moves like Angel Reese’s trade, injury questions such as Sabrina Ionescu’s ankle, and heightened media and betting focus around star players.
