While Clark has been one of the WNBA’s biggest stories this season, she continues to struggle with injury, missing 14 games so far. Kudos are deserved for the rest of the Fever team, who have picked up the slack in her absence, currently on a two-game win streak. Their last game was a 93-78 victory over the Chicago Sky in which Kelsey Mitchell was the star, making seven 3-pointers en route to scoring 35 points to go with six assists.
The Mercury have worked their way up to the No. 3 seed in the WNBA, despite a recent three-game losing streak. They snapped that streak in their most recent contest, an 88-72 rout of the Washington Mystics. Phoenix got a near triple-double from Alyssa Thomas, as she scored 27 points with 11 rebounds, eight assists, and three steals, all while shooting a crisp 12-for-17 from the field.
Phoenix and Indiana have not faced each other yet this season, but will meet three times in total.
