Overview
- The Indiana Fever beat the Toronto Tempo 101-95 on Tuesday, lifting their record to 24-12 and preserving their push for a top playoff seed while Kelsey Mitchell exited late after overheating.
- Coach Stephanie White said Mitchell’s removal 'seems like she just got overheated,' and the team listed her as probable for the next game as they monitor recovery.
- Mitchell tied the WNBA record for consecutive 20-point games with her 29-point outing, while Caitlin Clark finished with 24 points and publicly criticized the arena’s heat during postgame remarks.
- Reserve guard Sophie Cunningham was booed inside Scotiabank Arena but thanked the crowd, repeated criticisms of league leadership and drew reported outside support at a pro-Cunningham rally in Toronto.
- The game sharpened league-wide questions about fan management and policy after earlier incidents this season, including fans told to cover shirts and a co-owner suspension, with leadership decisions now under added scrutiny.
