Indiana has struggled to make a dent in the win column in the past week, largely due to the absence of Caitlin Clark.
The Fever star is sidelined with a left quadriceps injury; the matchup against Washington was her third game out.
Despite recent losses and struggling consistency, the Fever snapped a three-game losing streak against the Mystics. They defeated Washington 85-76, advancing to 3-4 on the season.
Before the game, Fever star Sophie Cunningham took to social media, sharing a broken fact with fans.
Cunningham chipped her front tooth in the Fever’s last game while already being sidelined with a right ankle injury.
Upon the release of the post that showcased Cunningham’s chipped tooth, some fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the change in physical appearance.
