Bright young stars hit the court in tonight’s Wings vs Fever clash, as No. 5 Indiana hosts No. 7 Dallas with just 1.5 games separating the pair in the WNBA standings.
Both teams returned to form this week, with Indiana compiling a two-game winning streak capped by Tuesday’s 106-92 victory over No. 6 New York — despite coach Stephanie White catching some heat as the media storm surrounding the team continues to rage.
“I hated that our fans booed her,” guard Caitlin Clark said. “That made me a little sick, to be honest.”
Wings enter tonight’s matchup fresh off taking down No. 13 Toronto 94-88, snapping a three-game skid despite an increasingly shorthanded roster.
Dallas will be without rookie Azzi Fudd (knee) for a fourth straight game tonight, as she joins Jessica Shepard and Aziaha James on the injured list.
“Right now we’re in a return-to-play protocol,” coach José Fernández said of Fudd’s recovery. “The most important thing is her health and her return to play and her longevity.”
Indiana hosts Dallas tonight at 7:30 PM ET (ION).
