The WNBA regular season is gaining momentum as the Indiana Fever prepares to face the Phoenix Mercury at the PHX Arena on Thursday night.
The Fever, who enjoyed a five-game winning streak, recently faced a setback with a loss to the Los Angeles Sparks, ending the game 100-91 on August 5. In that match, Caitlin Clark was sidelined for the eighth consecutive game due to a groin strain, which was a significant loss for the team. Despite this, Kelsey Mitchell stepped up impressively, scoring 34 points, including seven shots from beyond the arc, while Natasha Howard contributed 17 points.
On the flip side, the Mercury are looking to capitalize on their own success, having won their last two games, most recently overpowering the Connecticut Sun 82-66. Alyssa Thomas delivered an outstanding performance, achieving her second consecutive triple-double with 13 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists. Satou Sabally also shone brightly, netting 23 points and pulling down six rebounds in the victory.
Fans eager to catch this matchup can tune in on Thursday, August 7, at 10 p.m. ET. The game will be available for streaming on Prime Video, allowing viewers to enjoy the action from anywhere.
As both teams bring their best talents to the court, this matchup promises to be an exciting one, with the potential for dramatic performances and a spirited competition.
