After Indiana (12-9) saw their two-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday night with a 106-92 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks, the Fever continue their four-game Western Conference road trip tonight as they visit the Phoenix Mercury (8-14) from Mortgage Matchup Center.
While Wednesday night saw the return of Caitlin Clark after the former Hawkeye missed two games with a back injury, the now three-time WNBA All-Star scored only nine points on 4-for-12 shooting to go along with four rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 16 minutes of play as a result of a minutes restriction plan.

These two teams are all too familiar with one another after each split the first two meetings in Indianapolis on June 22 (86-77 Indiana win) and June 24 (111-109 Phoenix win), especially amid the widespread controversy surrounding the aggressive defense and unnecessary contact on Caitlin Clark.
