Caitlin Clark Scores 37 as Shorthanded Fever Rout Sky 113-90

Clark’s hot shooting and playmaking powered a depleted Indiana team to a timely road win that boosts its late-season positioning.

Overview

  • Caitlin Clark led the way with 37 points and 10 assists, making a career-high eight 3-pointers in Indiana’s 113-90 win over the Chicago Sky on Sunday, Aug. 23.
  • The Fever played without starter Aliyah Boston, who was ruled out with a right lower-leg issue, and veteran Damiris Dantas has been sidelined for the season after left-knee surgery.
  • Kelsey Mitchell added 30 points and Indiana got meaningful minutes from reserves such as Makayla Timpson and Mercedes Russell as the team shortened its rotation to cover the frontcourt gaps.
  • The victory closed a five-game road trip and came on the second night of a back-to-back, improving the Fever to 25-14 and strengthening their position in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
  • Indiana has four days off before hosting Connecticut, and coaches will monitor Boston, Clark and Myisha Hines-Allen closely as those injury decisions will shape late-season rotations and seeding outcomes.
