Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever (17-10) return to action tonight after the WNBA All-Star break with a road matchup at the Seattle Storm (6-23) from Climate Pledge Arena.
The Fever enter Tuesday’s contest on a three-game winning streak and with the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Caitlin Clark has enjoyed elite offensive production over her past four games, averaging 25.5 points, 8.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game on 47.5% shooting and 40% 3-point accuracy.
After being listed on the Fever’s day-before injury report as probable, Clark (back) and guard Bree Hall (left ankle) are both active tonight.
As the Fever and Storm meet, follow along for live updates and highlights, including Caitlin Clark’s stats:
End of Third Quarter: Fever 76, Storm 72

Storm Timeout.
As Seattle has ratcheted up their defense, Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark have continued to power Indiana’s offense and maintain the lead over the Storm.

6:25 3rd QTR: Fever 65, Storm 60

While Indiana continues to hold the lead over Seattle, the Storm have done an excellent job hanging around by responding to the Fever’s offensive runs and now have cut the lead to just five points.
Caitlin Clark has a team-leading 21 points on 6 for 10 shooting, 3 for 5 from 3-point range, and 6 for 6 at the free-throw line, along with four assists, two rebounds, one steal, and one block in 20 minutes of play.

Indiana Fever injury Update
Despite exiting with 4:56 left in the second quarter, Aliyah Boston has been ruled questionable to return to tonight’s game by the Indiana Fever medical staff with a right lower leg injury.
Halftime: Fever 58, Storm 47
Entering halftime, Indiana holds an 11-point lead over Seattle after the Storm made a solid offensive run to close out the second quarter.

Along with Clark, Monique Billings has produced 12 points, along with Sophie Cunningham’s 12 and Aliyah Boston’s 11.
A story to follow in the second half will be whether Boston’s absence has a major impact on the defensive presence.
It is worth noting that backup center Damiris Dantas (left knee) is not on this road trip as she was kept back in Indianapolis to rehab, meaning it will be a Monique Billings and Makayla Timpson frontcourt for the rest of the night.
