The WNBA world eagerly circled Sunday's game between the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever for quite some time. When the schedule was released, it was set to be another matchup between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese,

Kelsey Mitchell hit seven 3-pointers and scored 35 points and the Indiana Fever defeated the Chicago Sky 93-78 in a marquee matchup on Sunday that was missing stars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. Clark missed her fourth-straight game for Indiana with a groin injury and has only played in half of the team's games and Reese was out for her second straight for the Sky with a back issue.

Reese has been nursing a back injury this week and was ruled out for the game against Indiana as well. Joining both of them on the inactive list is rookie guard Hailey Van Lith, who was drafted 11th overall by Chicago in the 2025 WNBA Draft.
