The Indiana Fever showcased a strong performance against the Phoenix Mercury on Friday, marking their return from the Olympic break with a 98-89 victory, completing a season sweep over the Mercury. Rookie Caitlin Clark and the Fever now aim to prevent a similar outcome against the Seattle Storm.
The Seattle Storm will seek to achieve a season sweep over the Fever on Sunday, having won all three encounters this season. Their last meeting was in late June in Seattle, where the Storm triumphed over the Fever 89-77. However, since that loss, Indiana has been on an upswing, securing five victories in their last eight games.
Every win is crucial for the Fever as they contend for a playoff position in the WNBA. Currently, Indiana holds the seventh spot with a record of 12-15 and has 13 games left in the season, while the Storm are in a secure fourth place at 17-9 with 14 games remaining.
