Overview
- Caitlin Clark logged 21 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds in Sunday’s 89-78 win over Seattle, her 12th career game with at least 20 points and 10 assists, which is a WNBA record.
- Aliyah Boston missed that game with a lower‑leg injury that ended an eight‑year appearance streak, then practiced Tuesday and was not on the injury report, which signals likely availability for Portland’s first matchup with Indiana.
- The WNBA drew heavy criticism after a league graphic promoting Sunday’s Fever‑Storm game left out Clark, despite recent Fever telecasts drawing as many as 2.49 million viewers on national TV.
- Clark said the constant spotlight can be emotionally taxing on the Post Moves podcast hosted by Aliyah Boston and Candace Parker, though she said she would not trade the platform.
- Despite elite offense, coverage flagged Indiana’s defense and frontcourt depth as issues, with WNBA.com power rankings dropping the Fever to No. 8 ahead of Wednesday’s expansion‑era meeting with the Portland Fire.
