After a disappointing loss on Wednesday night, the Indiana Fever (10-8) return to action on Saturday as they host the Los Angeles Sparks (8-9) from inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

In a game that Caitlin Clark exited from in the third quarter and did not return, the Fever wound up watching an eight-point lead morph into a frustrating 111-109 loss against the lowly Phoenix Mercury (6-13). Clark departed with a back injury against the Mercury and has been ruled out of Saturday’s contest against the Sparks.

It will mark the second game missed due to injury on the season for Clark. The third-year pro also missed Indiana’s May 20 date against the Portland Fire.

With Clark out, the Fever will need to lean on its other two All-Stars—center Aliyah Boston and guard Kelsey Mitchell—in order to top the Sparks for the second time this season. As tipoff nears, here’s where Fever fans can watch:
