The Indiana Fever stayed red-hot late Friday night, beating the Portland Fire 112-98 for their season-best fifth consecutive win.

Six Fever players scored in double figures, including Sophie Cunningham with 13 points off the bench and rookie Makayla Timpson, who delivered 15 points in just 19 minutes.

| Recap: Fever Win 4th Straight Behind Clark, Mitchell — But Boston Exits With Injury | 29 Jul 2026 | 00:16:59 | |
The Indiana Fever returned from the All-Star break with a 105-95 road win over the Seattle Storm late Tuesday night, extending their winning streak to four games and completing a 3-0 sweep of the season series. Caitlin Clark scored 32 points and Kelsey Mitchell added 28 as the Fever’s star backcourt combined for 60. But the victory came with a significant concern: All-Star center Aliyah Boston went down with an apparent right knee injury late in the second quarter and did not return. Backup center Damiris Dantas (left knee) is not on the road trip either. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram, and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com. | |||
| Recap: Fever Pummel Sparks 111-87 for Feel-Good Win Before Weeklong Break | 28 Jun 2026 | 00:13:40 | |
The Indiana Fever rolled past the LA Sparks 111-87 on Saturday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, leading by as many as 35 points in one of their most complete wins of the season. Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Plum and Cameron Brink were all sidelined, but Indiana took care of business in the featured CBS primetime game. The Fever had 11 of 12 players score, shot 55% from the field, 53% from 3-point range and 82% at the free-throw line. Kelsey Mitchell led all scorers with 26 points, and Indiana now heads into a weeklong break before beginning a road trip July 5 in Las Vegas. Perhaps the best moment of the night came off the court, with longtime usher Judy being surprised by her son, who she hadn’t seen in seven years due to military deployments.

| Recap: Enough is Enough. Clark Leaves Game With Injury, Steph White Speaks Out | 25 Jun 2026 | 00:22:22 | |
The Indiana Fever suffered a 111-109 loss on Wednesday to the Phoenix Mercury, their second meeting in three games. Kelsey Mitchell scored a game-high 30 points before fouling out with 22 seconds left. But this game will be remembered for Caitlin Clark exiting the game with a back injury in the third quarter, not returning, and then head coach Stephanie White having her back postgame. Enough is enough. "Absolutely unacceptable!" White said. "We spent all offseason looking at officiating. All offseason. And I still say the one thing that we keep asking for is consistency. (Caitlin Clark) is not called the same way everybody else is called." Alyssa Thomas was seen putting her knee to Clark's groin, then fist to throat in the first half; Valeriane Ayayi had a reckless close-out on a 3-point attempt by Clark that was not called either. At least on that one, they went to the monitor, but did not upgrade the foul. Now... how will the league respond? Will they? Clark is the golden goose, the face of the league, and more. The Fever are disgusted with how she has been treated in many ways, but especially with officiating. Player health is everything and this directly impacts her availability. I got into all of it in my postgame report. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram, and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com. | |||
| Recap: Fever Recover From Awful Start, Hold Off Mercury in Physical Win | 23 Jun 2026 | 00:18:44 | |
The Indiana Fever overcame a rough start and a physical, tension-filled fourth quarter to beat the Phoenix Mercury 86-77 in their first matchup of the season. After being outscored 19-6 in the first quarter, going 2 for 18 from the field, Indiana responded with a strong second quarter, then took control with a 30-11 third behind Kelsey Mitchell, Caitlin Clark and a big lift from Monique Billings. Clark finished with a game-high 24 points and nine assists, Billings recorded her first double-double of the season with 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Mitchell helped lead the Fever’s surge after the slow start. The night also featured six technical fouls, a bleeding lip for Mitchell, boos for DeWanna Bonner, and plenty of tension between two teams that will do it all over again Wednesday night in Indianapolis. Plus, Myisha Hines-Allen received a two-tech ejection for the first time in her career. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram, and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com. | |||
| Recap: Indiana Fever Collapse After Hot Start, Fall 113-96 to Dream | 20 Jun 2026 | 00:16:23 | |
The Indiana Fever opened with their best first quarter of the season, scoring 37 points behind Caitlin Clark’s fast start, then got a second-period lift from Kelsey Mitchell’s shot-making. But after leading by as many as 11, the game flipped quickly as Atlanta took control with second-chance opportunities (22 points to 13), transition points (20 to 2) and a decisive third-quarter run. The Dream outscored Indiana 28-15 in the third quarter and never looked back, handing the Fever a 113-96 loss at State Farm Arena. Atlanta’s 113 points set a franchise record, while the Fever dropped to 9-7 after back-to-back losses to the Dream. Indiana now returns home for three straight games against Phoenix, Phoenix again, and Los Angeles. Defense is a major issue, yielding 100+ points in five of their seven losses. Turnovers (19) continue to set them back. And today's performance was not up to the standard. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram, and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com. | |||
| Recap: Fever’s Win Streak Ends as Dream Score 108, Dominate the Paint | 19 Jun 2026 | 00:16:11 | |
The Fever’s four-game win streak ended Thursday night in a high-scoring loss to the Atlanta Dream, with defense again the biggest concern. Indiana has now allowed 100-plus points in four of its six losses, and Atlanta dominated inside with a season-high 60 points in the paint. Caitlin Clark debuted her Caitlin 1 shoe and led the Fever with 26 points but was limited late by foul trouble, going scoreless in the fourth quarter. Kelsey Mitchell scored 13 of her 26 in the final period, Aliyah Boston added 23, and the Fever’s Big 3 combined for 75 points. Indiana rallied to tie the game at 93, including a 13-3 run with Clark on the bench, but the Dream closed it out late behind a balanced starting five. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram, and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com. | |||
| Recap: Fever Blow Out Tempo 113-91 | Cunningham Erupts, Clark Posts Double-Double | 17 Jun 2026 | 00:15:43 | |
The Indiana Fever (9-5) extended their winning streak to four games with a convincing 113-91 victory over the Tempo in the first-ever meeting between the franchises. They've now won six straight at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Sophie Cunningham delivered her best performance since joining Indiana, scoring a season-high 24 points. She sank a buzzer-beating 3 to close the first quarter and finished 6 for 7 from range. Kelsey Mitchell added 27 points, Caitlin Clark recorded her fourth double-double of the season with 21 points and 14 assists, and Aliyah Boston finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds as the Fever led by as many as 24. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram, and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com. | |||
| Recap: Clark drops 25, Cunningham closes it out in Fever win at Connecticut | 14 Jun 2026 | 00:18:07 | |
The Indiana Fever have won three straight games for the second time this season, defeating the Connecticut Sun 85-75 on Saturday. It was closer than the score suggests, just a two-point game with two minutes left. But then Sophie Cunningham scored the team's final 11 points -- in her first game back at the site where she suffered a torn MCL 10 months ago. Caitlin Clark led all with 25 points, going 5 of 10 from 3-point range. She picked up a technical foul with 22.2 seconds left, though it was unclear what she said or did to earn it. Five Indiana players finished in double figures as Kelsey Mitchell scored 19 and Aliyah Boston added 13 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists. There's still plenty of room for growth from the Fever. They committed 19 turnovers, leading to 25 points, and they surrendered a double-digit lead in a fourth straight game. Their lead was nine at half after holding the Sun to just nine points in the second quarter. They improved to 8-5 this season and 4-1 in Commissioner's Cup play with their next game on Tuesday against the Toronto Tempo. That begins a stretch with five of their next six games at home over the next two weeks. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram, and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com. | |||

The Indiana Fever returned home on Thursday and defeated the Chicago Sky 114-106, needing an extra period to do so. Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston teamed up to score 66 points. The Fever led by as many as 19 points, but then gave up 65 points in the middle two quarters. Clark finished with 32 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 assists; Boston piled up a career-high 34 points and 12 rebounds in the win. The Fever finished 29 of 31 at the foul line, including Clark making all 15. Myisha Hines-Allen and Makayla Timpson played big minutes as Monique Billings was in foul trouble and limited.

| Recap: Fever Put Out Fire Without Caitlin Clark | Aliyah Boston Returns, Lexie Hull Doesn't Miss | 21 May 2026 | 00:13:17 | |
The Indiana Fever delivered their first wire-to-wire win of the season Wednesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, beating the Portland Fire 90-73 — and they did it without Caitlin Clark. Less than two hours before tipoff, the Fever announced Clark (back) would miss her first game of the season. But Indiana handled the expansion franchise without her to improve to 3-2 and move above .500 for the first time this season. Aliyah Boston returned to the starting lineup after missing the first game of her career since high school, and she immediately made her presence felt. Lexie Hull knocked down all four of her 3-point attempts (one more than the Portland) while finishing with 16 points and eight rebounds. Veteran Ty Harris moved into the starting lineup contributed seven assists and zero turnovers as the Fever piled up 21 assists as a team. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram, and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com. | |||

Caitlin Clark scored 32 points and exploded for 17 in the fourth quarter, including a game-tying 3-pointer to force overtime. But Indiana struggled defensively throughout the night, allowing 58 points in the paint and another strong shooting performance from an opponent.

| Recap: Fever Set Franchise Records as Caitlin Clark, Big Three Dominate Sun | 23 Jul 2026 | 00:17:58 | |
The Indiana Fever (17-10) put together a historic offensive performance in a 123-88 rout of the Connecticut Sun, setting franchise records for points in a game and points in a half (70). Caitlin Clark looked as fluid and comfortable as she has all season, finishing with 27 points and 11 assists for her fifth double-double this season. Clark, Kelsey Mitchell (23 points), and Aliyah Boston (22-6-5) combined for 72 points as the Fever won their third straight game and eighth in their last 11, delivering the perfect feel-good performance heading into the All-Star break. Clark was also issued her 7th technical foul of the season, so she's one away from an automatic one-game suspension. Those three All-Stars will suit up on Saturday, but the Fever do not have a representative for All-Star Friday night. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram, and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com. | |||

| Recap: Fever Offense Stalls in Loss to Valkyries, Caitlin Clark Suffers Bruised Quad | 16 Jul 2026 | 00:15:17 | |
The Indiana Fever returned home after a strong 3-1 road trip but struggled offensively in an 88-75 loss to the Golden State Valkyries, matching their season-low point total. Indiana briefly erased a double-digit deficit and took the lead with a 17-4 third-quarter run, but Golden State responded, forced 16 turnovers and pulled away for its eighth consecutive win. I also discussed Caitlin Clark's being in pain after a hard landing, her continued minutes restriction, Kelsey Mitchell’s 20-point performance, Sophie Cunningham’s defense and the Fever’s inability to find consistent offense on this night. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram, and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com. | |||

| Recap: Fever Fall Flat in LA as Caitlin Clark Returns, Aliyah Boston Sits | 09 Jul 2026 | 00:14:34 | |
Caitlin Clark returned from injury Wednesday night, but the Indiana Fever delivered a disappointing performance in a 106-92 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. Aliyah Boston was out, and her absence was felt — especially as Indiana struggled with defense, turnovers and getting enough from the frontcourt. In this recap, I break down Clark’s return and minutes restriction, how the Fever looked out of rhythm, the ongoing concerns with injuries and availability, and what needs to improve quickly as they head to Phoenix for their first back-to-back of the season. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram, and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com. | |||

| Recap: Fever Stay (Too) Hot in Toronto: Mitchell drops 29, Indiana Wins 5th Straight | 19 Aug 2026 | 00:11:59 | |
The Indiana Fever never trailed in a 101-95 win over the Toronto Tempo, making their first trip north of the border a successful one. Kelsey Mitchell scored 16 of her game-high 29 points in the first quarter before heading back to the locker room in the fourth, apparently overheated inside a sweltering Scotiabank Arena. Several players complained about the temperature as a sellout crowd of 19,300 watched Toronto lose its 11th straight game. Caitlin Clark added 24 points and seven assists, along with seven turnovers, while Indiana built a 17-point lead and held off the Tempo for its fifth consecutive win.

Caitlin Clark’s technical foul from Saturday’s win in Chicago was rescinded by the WNBA — an important ruling as she sits one technical away from an automatic suspension. I break down what happened, why I don’t believe TV networks needed to get involved, and what it means for Clark and the Indiana Fever over the final 12 games of the regular season. Plus: the Fever add veteran center Mercedes Russell following Damiris Dantas’ season-ending knee injury, the latest on the rotation, and why this upcoming stretch before the World Cup break is so important for Indiana’s playoff positioning. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram, and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com. | |||
