Fever Return to Chicago
Sunday’s matchup will be the third time the Fever and the Sky face off this season. Indiana hosted their first clash during the WNBA’s opening weekend, with Clark and Co. securing a 93-58 blowout win at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
On June 7, the battle shifted to United Center in Chicago. The Fever, who were without Clark at the time due to a leg injury, were still able to win on the road, 79-52.
The Fever have now returned to Chicago for a second and final time this season, and they will be looking to make it 3-0 against their biggest rivals.

Fever-Sky Rivalry Showdown
The Fever will need strong performances from Cunningham and Hull, among others, as they try to take down the Sky on their home court. Cunningham has been on a heater of late, scoring in double digits in her last six games.
The 6-foot-1 guard will likely get the nod to start again with Clark still out of action due to a groin injury.
As for Hull, the veteran guard will want to bounce back after being held scoreless in Indiana’s win over the Aces. She’s one of the best defenders on the roster, and the Fever will need her to be on point on both ends of the floor come Sunday.
