Neither the Fever or Sky have quite had the season they wanted so far, but Sunday marks an opportunity to get back on track.<\/p>\n
The second half of each squad’s 2025 campaign is under way, with Indiana (13-12) still hovering around .500 and Chicago (7-17) riding a four-game losing streak. For the Fever, injuries have played a role in their struggles heading into Sunday’s nationally televised matchup.<\/p>\n
While various other players have missed time this season, the most significant injury for Indiana has been to Caitlin Clark. The All-Star guard’s status remains up in the air coming into Sunday’s game, as she’s dealt with a groin issue that kept her sidelined for All-Star festivities. Clark last played on July 15, her 13th game played of the season, as she dealt with a shooting slump.<\/p>\n

Reese, who has been dealing with a back injury, will be seeking her league-leading 16th double-double as the Sky and Fever face off in their rivalry for the third time this season.<\/p>\n The Sporting News is tracking live updates and highlights from Fever vs. Sky in Chicago on Sunday afternoon.
