Overview
- Indiana beat the Connecticut Sun 85-75 on Saturday with Caitlin Clark scoring 25 points and Sophie Cunningham hitting the final 11 to seal the win and push the Fever to an 8-5 record and 4-1 in Commissioner's Cup play.
- In a June 12 overtime victory over the Chicago Sky, Aliyah Boston scored 34 with 12 rebounds and Caitlin Clark had 32 and 10 assists as they became the first teammates in WNBA history to each record a 30-point double-double.
- The Fever repeatedly listed Clark as probable because of recurring back soreness, and the team has used day-before injury reports to clear her for multiple games this season.
- Clark ended the Sun game with her fourth technical of the season after one technical was reclassified as a team technical, a sequence that avoided an ejection but triggered a $1,000 fine under WNBA rules and raises the risk of steeper penalties if more technicals follow.
- The Fever’s recent form highlights the team’s ‘bookend’ chemistry between Clark and Boston and improves their path to the June 30 Commissioner's Cup final, but sustained contention will depend on managing Clark’s health and on-court conduct.
