Entering with a three-game winning streak, Caitlin Clark and Indiana (8-5) welcome Toronto (7-7) to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for a Tuesday night tilt and the first meeting between the Fever and the newly-formed Tempo organization.
Tonight will be the first of three meetings this season between the two franchises. The Tempo enter the inaugural meeting on a two-game losing streak, including a 102-77 thrashing at the hands of the Atlanta Dream on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark is coming off a 25-point performance that saw the former Hawkeye shoot 10-for-17 from the field and 5-of-10 from 3-point land in Saturday evening’s 85-75 road win over Connecticut. The 6-foot superstar passed a Sabrina Ionescu mark in the process by dishing out five assists.
