Overview

  • Indiana fell to the Lynx 95-90 to drop to 19-17, with coach Stephanie White praising her team’s effort despite the short-handed lineup.
  • Odyssey Sims exited in the fourth quarter and did not return, with White saying she will be evaluated the following day.
  • Chloe Bibby was held out pregame with left knee soreness as a precaution, leaving Indiana with nine available players.
  • Caitlin Clark remains sidelined with a right groin injury and has not rejoined full-team practice, as debate continues over reports of a very mild left-ankle bone bruise that some say may not affect her timeline.
  • The Fever added veteran wing Aeriel Powers on a seven-day hardship contract to bolster depth after season-ending injuries to Sydney Colson, Aari McDonald and Sophie Cunningham.
