    Indiana Fever wins over Dallas Wings without Caitlin Clark (94 – 86)

    June 29, 2025

    It was a statement game for the Indiana Fever as they defeat the Dallas Wings 94-86 in a hard-fought contest that showcased the Fever’s depth and determination even without their star point guard, Caitlin Clark. Missing her second straight game due to a left groin injury, Clark’s absence provided an opportunity for other Fever players to step up, and they answered the call with a collective effort that secured a crucial road win.

    From the opening tip, the Fever started fast, jumping out to an impressive 33-13 lead in the first quarter. Their offense was incredibly efficient in the 1st quarter, converting all of their shots from inside the arc and shooting a remarkable 59.3% from the field for the game. Fever’s efficiency carried over to the second quarter and was able to set the tone for the game, they managed to built a 20-point lead (40 – 20) but ended the half with a 13-points lead (56 – 43).

    Veteran guard Kelsey Mitchell lead the Fever with a season-high 32 points and 7 assists, Mitchell also hade a crucial three-points to recapture the lead (82 – 80) after the Wings taking lead for the first time in the game. Aliyah Boston also continued to impress, adding a strong 21 points and six rebounds, keeping her consistent presence in the paint. Natasha Howard was a force on both ends, recording a double-double with 15 points and a game-high 13 rebounds, along with three steals. Making her first start for the Fever, Aari McDonald added 13 points and six assists, providing valuable playmaking in Clark’s absence.

    The Dallas Wings is led by rookie sensation Paige Bueckers’ 27 points and six assists, lead the Wings comeback. After trailing by as many as 23 points, the Wings managed to briefly take an 80-79 lead in the fourth quarter, fueled by improved shooting and aggressive defense. However, the Fever kept their composure, responding with a decisive 9-0 run to reclaim control and seal the victory.

    It’s a great win by the Fever (8-8), as they move back to a .500 record on the season before facing the Minnesota Lynx in the Commissioner’s Cup Finals this July 2nd.

    Caitlin Clark to miss game against Paige Bueckers and Dallas Wings

    June 28, 2025

    This will be the second straight game that she missed after returning from a left quadriceps strain injury, where he missed 5 games.

    WNBA All-Star Voting to start this June 12th until June 28th

    June 11, 2025

    WNBA just announced that the WNBA All-Star voting will start this June 12th and will end on before midnight of the 28th of June. The league explained that “fans may submit one full ballot each day via WNBA.com and the WNBA App. All WNBA players currently on team rosters will be available for selection.”

    From WNBA.com;

    WNBA players and media will join fans in selecting the All-Star starters. Fans will account for 50 percent of the vote, while all current players and a media panel will account for 25 percent each. Players and media panelists will be able to complete one ballot, featuring four guards and six frontcourt players.

    After all votes are tallied, players will be ranked by position (guard and frontcourt) within each of the three voting groups – fan votes, player votes and media votes. Each player’s score will be calculated by averaging their weighted rank from the fan votes, the player votes and the media votes. The four guards and six frontcourt players with the best score will be named as starters for AT&T WNBA All-Star 2025. Fan voting will serve as the tiebreaker for players in a position group with the same score.

    After the starters have been determined, the league’s head coaches will select the 12 reserves. The head coaches will vote for three guards, five frontcourt players and four players at either position regardless of conference. Coaches may not vote for players on their own team. The announcement dates for both the starters and reserves will be shared later this month.

    The two All-Star captains – the starters who receive the most fan votes – will then draft their respective rosters by selecting first from the remaining eight players in the pool of starters and then from the pool of 12 reserves. ESPN will broadcast the results of the roster draft for the 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game during an hourlong edition of WNBA Countdown on Tuesday, July 8 (7 p.m. ET).

    Dates to remember;

    • June 12 to June 28 – WNBA All-Star Voting period
    • July 8 – 2025 WNBA All-Star Game roster draft
    • July 18 – WNBA Skills Challenge and WNBA 3-Point Contest
    • July 19 – WNBA All-Star Game

    Indiana Fever Guard Caitlin Clark out for two weeks due to leg injury

    May 27, 2025

    Indiana Fever Guard Caitlin will miss at least of two weeks due to a left quadriceps strain injury. The team added that “further updates will be provided, as available, following re-evaluation.”

    It’s unclear when the injury occurred, since Clark played 38 minutes in their last game against the New York Liberty. This injury may be related to the left quad tightness that Clark experienced in the preseason, she even missed an exhibition game.

    Left Quadriceps Strain indicates damage to one of the four muscles at the front of her left thigh. Quadriceps strains can range in severity from mild (Grade 1) to severe (Grade 3, a complete tear). The “minimum of two weeks” suggests it’s likely a Grade 1 or 2 strain, as a full tear would typically require a much longer recovery.

    Being out for at least two weeks, means that Clark will miss a minimum of four games. These games include matchups against the Washington Mystics (twice), Connecticut Sun, and a highly anticipated road game against the Chicago Sky.

    • May 29 – Washington Mystics
    • May 31 – Connecticut Sun
    • June 4 – Washington Mystics
    • June 8 – Chicago Sky

    Caitlin Clark will most likely be back against the Atlanta Dream on June 11th.

Despite a dominant third quarter where the Fever outscored the Liberty 30-13, they couldn’t maintain the momentum, managing only 12 points in the fourth quarter while the Liberty scored 22. Sabrina Ionescu sealed the win for New York with two crucial free throws at the end of the game. The win will keep the Liberty unbeaten 4 games into the season, while the Fever will have a 2 – 2 standing.

    For the Indiana Fever, Caitlin Clark had another challenging shooting night, going 6-of-19 from the field, including 2-of-12 from three-point range. Despite her struggles, she spearheaded the third-quarter surge with a four-point play and a buzzer-beating shot to end the quarter. Clark finished with 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 10 assists. Aliyah Boston delivered another stellar performance, tallying 27 points and 13 rebounds. Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull each chipped in 15 points.

    Dream defeated Fever behind their stifling and physical defense (91 – 90)

    May 22, 2025

    The Atlanta Dream narrowly defeated the Indiana Fever last night in a tightly contested and physical matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, emerging with a 91-90 victory. Atlanta capitalize on their size and physicality for most of the game, until the Fever made a furious fourth-quarter rally but it was not enough to get the win at home.

    Atlanta established an early lead, showcasing their stifling and physical defense that disrupted the Fever’s offense. They outshot Indiana in the paint during the first quarter, ending it with a 31-23 advantage. The Dream’s strong defensive presence continued throughout much of the game, making it difficult for the Fever to find consistent offensive flow.

    Despite the defensive pressure, the Fever, lead by Caitlin Clark, began to claw their way back. Clark, who had a standout night with 27 points and 11 assists, hit crucial shots to keep Indiana in contention. Aliyah Boston followed-up her first game performance with 24 points and 10 rebounds, marking her second consecutive double-double. Kelsey Mitchell added 24 points to complete a potent scoring trio for the Fever.

    Brittney Griner led Atlanta with 21 points and 8 rebounds in her first win with the team, while Rhyne Howard added 20 points, including key free throws in the final seconds. Brionna Jones contributed a double-double with 19 points and 13 rebounds, and Allisha Gray chipped in 16 points.

    The fourth quarter was a nail-biter, with the Fever battling back from an 11-point deficit early in the period. Clark and Lexie Hull combined for nine points on three-pointers to close the gap, and Indiana took its second lead of the game with just 21 seconds remaining. However, a crucial foul sent Rhyne Howard to the free-throw line, where she sank both shots to retake the lead for Atlanta. Despite a last-ditch effort by the Fever at the buzzer, the Dream held on for the one-point victory.

    The game was a physical affair, with both teams battling hard on every possession. While the Fever showed resilience in their comeback attempt, their 10 missed free throws and 14 turnovers ultimately proved costly.

    The two teams will face off again on Thursday, with the Fever traveling to Atlanta for another anticipated matchup.
