The WNBA regular season heats up as the Indiana Fever host the Las Vegas Aces in a highly anticipated matchup on Thursday, July 24.
The Fever will be without Caitlin Clark, who has been ruled out of the game against the Aces due to a right groin injury. This will mark the 12th regular-season game that Clark has missed. Ahead of tonight’s game, the Fever announced Clark underwent further medical evaluations earlier this week, which confirmed no additional injuries or damage. There is no timetable for her return, however, as Clark and the team prioritize the All-Star guard’s long-term health.
The Fever are aiming to snap a two-game losing streak after their recent loss to the New York Liberty. All-Star Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever in scoring in the loss, recording 29 points, two rebounds and two assists.
The Aces are currently enjoying their first three-game winning streak of the season after an 87-72 deafeat of the Atlanta Dream. Three-time MVP A’ja Wilson led the team with 24 points and 12 rebounds, while Jackie Young and Dana Evans contributed a combined total of 28 points in the victory.
