Overview

  • Aliyah Boston scored a career-high 31 points with eight rebounds to lead the Fever to a 94-86 victory over the Seattle Storm.
  • Caitlin Clark finished with six points and a career-first eight turnovers in her return, extending a slump that has seen her hit only one of 23 three-point attempts.
  • Veteran forward DeWanna Bonner has formally requested a trade and confirmed she no longer intends to play for Indiana, with the Phoenix Mercury and Atlanta Dream among her preferred destinations.
  • Critics have faulted Indiana’s front office for contract allocations and roster moves, pointing to the release of Aari McDonald and the handling of veteran signings.
  • Head coach Stephanie White and the Fever will return home to host the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday as they seek to build on their road success.
