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 routed Seattle 95-75 to move to 20-18, complete a 3-0 season sweep and gain the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Storm.
  • Aliyah Boston led with 27 points and nine rebounds and became the fastest player in Fever history to reach 1,000 career boards.
  • Caitlin Clark has been out since July 15 with a groin injury and a later bone bruise; she has participated in shootarounds but has not practiced fully.
  • White emphasized multiple live practices are required to avoid regression, as outside voices such as Lisa Leslie urge caution about a 2025 return.
  • Indiana remains in playoff position with six games left; projections reported by outlets vary, and the injury-hit roster continues to rely on short-term additions like Odyssey Sims and Shey Peddy.
