Overview

  • Indiana defeated Seattle 95-75 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to improve to 20-18 and jump from eighth to sixth, securing the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Storm.
  • Aliyah Boston became the fastest player in franchise history to reach 1,000 rebounds, hitting the mark in 118 games.
  • Caitlin Clark remained out with a right groin injury after limited non-contact work on Aug. 24, and coach Stephanie White says she needs multiple live practices to avoid regression before returning.
  • Kelsey Mitchell scored 21 points and Odyssey Sims added 22 as the Fever shot 50.7% and outrebounded Seattle 42-21.
  • Pre-game models and odds leaned toward Seattle, but Indiana’s win strengthened its playoff position despite season-ending injuries to Sophie Cunningham, Aari McDonald and Sydney Colson.
