The Fever visit the Chicago Sky after Kelsey Mitchell scored 24 points in the Fever’s 85-76 victory against the Washington Mystics.

The teams’ previous encounter was marked by a controversial moment when Fever star Caitlin Clark committed a flagrant foul on the Sky’s Angel Reese. Additionally, there was an investigation into a report of a fan making a derogatory remark toward Reese.

During the 2024-25 season, Chicago recorded a 6-14 home game record and went 5-15 in Eastern Conference matchups. The Sky had an average of 77.4 points per game, shooting 42.2% from the field and 32.4% from three-point range.

Indiana ended the 2024-25 season with a 20-20 overall record and won 11 out of 20 games in the Eastern Conference. The Fever also averaged 20.4 assists per game, based on 31.3 successful field goals each game.

Caitlin Clark injured

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark said she remains day-to-day with a left quadriceps strain but will be re-evaluated this weekend after the team’s game at the Chicago Sky on Saturday.

Clark spoke to reporters Thursday for the first time since sustaining the injury during Indiana’s loss to the New York Liberty on May 24. She was expected to miss at least two weeks.

“I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress,” Clark said, adding that she’s been able to get a different point of view watching games from the bench.

“I’m not going to rush coming back,” the 2024 WNBA rookie of the year said. “It’s just not worth it. But after this weekend I’ll be re-evaluated and we’ll have a better idea.”

Clark said she wasn’t sure at what point in the game the injury occurred, but estimated that it was early. She added she was in pain after the game and got an MRI, which revealed “the result that I didn’t want to see.”

As of Thursday, the Fever had gone 1-2 in the three games that Clark has missed since the injury.

She played in all 40 games and both playoff games last season and the first four games this year. She did miss Indiana’s first preseason game this year with what was said to be a leg injury.

Clark is averaging 19.0 points, 9.3 assists and 6.0 rebounds this season.
