Fever 111-91 Sun rout; Clark, Mitchell lead

The Indiana Fever defeated the Connecticut Sun 111-91 behind 34-point performances from Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, boosting Indiana to fourth place as they head into the FIBA World Cup break. Clark and Mitchell’s high-scoring backcourt continues to anchor the Fever’s offense, with Clark also adding 12 assists in the line, while CT’s struggles persisted. Clark is listed as probable with a back issue for the upcoming matchup, while Damiris Dantas is out for the season due to knee surgery, further thinning the frontcourt. The Fever have additional injury notes with Aliyah Boston already sidelined earlier, and Clark’s status has become a focal point as she competes for MVP consideration alongside A’ja Wilson and others. In addition to the on-court action, Clark’s recent 37-point, 10-assist performance against Chicago and the team’s league-leading scoring and efficiency underscore the high-stakes push for playoff positioning before/after the break, with Indiana aiming to solidify a top-four seed.
