Overview

  • The Indiana Fever have won five straight games since July 30 without Caitlin Clark, tying their longest streak since 2015 and improving to a 17-12 record for the fifth seed.
  • Forward Aliyah Boston has posted a sixth consecutive double-double while Natasha Howard, Sophie Cunningham and Aari McDonald have delivered key scoring contributions.
  • All-Star forward Napheesa Collier sprained her right ankle on August 2 and will miss several weeks pending reevaluation by the Lynx medical staff.
  • Minnesota acquired guard DiJonai Carrington from Dallas, holds cap space and is weighing frontcourt additions before Thursday’s trade deadline.
  • The WNBA’s inaugural Rivals Week, which begins Saturday, has seen marquee matchups weakened by the absences of Clark, Collier, Breanna Stewart and Angel Reese.
