WNBA Applauds Indiana Fever Star After Blowout Over Aces
WNBA Applauds Indiana Fever Star After Blowout Over Aces originally appeared on Athlon Sports. WNBA All-Star guard Caitlin Clark continues to miss games for the Indiana Fever due to a strained groin. But they have been doing all right without her, and in fact, in some of the fans' opinion, they have been surging. Advertisement They won their eighth game in their last 12 outings on Thursday when they defeated the Las Vegas Aces, 81-54. They forced 19 turnovers and held Las Vegas to 26.2% field-goal shooting, while Aliyah Boston continued her fine play of late with 20 points. Guard Kelsey Mitchell led Indiana in scoring with 25 points on 9-of-18 shooting from the field and 4-of-6 from 3-point range. She also added six assists and two steals to help her team break a 16-game losing streak to the Aces. Mitchell made the All-Star team in 2023 and 2024 and is averaging 19.3 points a game on 45.4% overall shooting and 37.1% from 3-point range this season. She has stepped up her game lately with Clark out, and this was her fifth straight contest with at least 20 points, not including Tuesday's Commissioner's Cup final. Advertisement Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell shoots against the Connecticut Sun at Mohegan Sun Rutherford-Imagn Images Indiana now has a 9-8 record, and it is clearly surging even without Clark. Even better, it has just started a five-game homestand, which will give the team an opportunity to fatten up its record going into the All-Star break. After their homestand ends, the Fever will play road games against the Connecticut Sun and New York Liberty before the All-Star game takes place. This year, it will be held at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Fever's home arena.
