  • Odyssey Sims limped to the locker room in the fourth quarter of the loss to Minnesota and did not return, with no official update on her condition.
  • ION’s broadcast mistakenly listed Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham as active in Indiana’s lineup despite both being out with injuries.
  • Caitlin Clark has not played since injuring her right groin on July 15 and missed the Aug. 20 practice, with no set date for a return.
  • WNBA analyst Ros Gold-Onwude publicly advised Clark to consider shutting down for the season due to recurring injuries and Indiana’s thin backcourt.
