Stephanie White was able to lead the Indiana Fever to a 90–73 victory over the Portland Fire despite the absence of superstar guard Caitlin Clark. Guard Tyasha Harris, whose prior season high in minutes was 16 against the Los Angeles Sparks, filled in admirably for the injured Clark, playing a game-high 29 minutes. The 5-foot-10 guard also posted a game-high seven assists with zero turnovers.
Forward Aliyah Boston, who missed the Fever’s prior game against the Seattle Storm on Sunday, had game highs in points (24) and rebounds (8, tied with teammate Lexie Hull). Clark was taken out of the starting lineup only 100 minutes before tipoff, and with the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year not at practice on Tuesday, some are questioning whether Indiana will be punished by the WNBA for not disclosing any potential injury earlier.
