Caitlin Clark, Fever close out home slate vs Dallas Wings
THE Indiana Fever will take the court for their final regular-season home game of a franchise-changing campaign Sunday when they host the Dallas Wings.
Though the Fever are coming off a 78-74 loss to the two-time defending champion Las Vegas Aces on Friday, rookie Caitlin Clark made more history by setting the WNBA single-season record for assists by passing Alyssa Thomas’s mark of 316. Clark set the rookie assist record in August.
She’s averaging 8.4 assists per game along with 19.1 points and 5.8 rebounds for Indiana, which has clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 2016.
The Fever (19-19) are looking to snap a two-game skid when it takes on the Wings (9-29), who have the league’s second-worst record after their 83-81 home loss to the Seattle Storm on Friday.
For Dallas, Sunday’s game is about putting an end to a 15-game road losing streak. The Wings have won just twice away from home, the last on May 26 with an 84-83 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks. — Reuters
