Overview
- The Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun meet at 1 p.m. ET Sunday at Mohegan Sun Arena, airing on NBA TV with regional windows on NBC Sports Boston and streaming via WNBA League Pass and Fubo.
- Caitlin Clark remains sidelined by a lingering groin injury and has not practiced with the team, with ESPN listing August 26 as the most likely return target after ramping up individual court work.
- Indiana’s rotation has been further depleted by season-ending losses to Sydney Colson (ACL) and Aari McDonald (foot), leading to short-term signings and increased workloads for Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell.
- Connecticut enters with a clean injury report and seeks its first consecutive victories after a 71-62 home win over the Chicago Sky.
- Analytic models and sportsbooks favor the Fever despite their absences, with Dimers.com simulations giving Indiana a roughly 72% chance to win and heavy moneyline odds.
