Following sixth-seeded Indiana’s dramatic series victory on Thursday over the third-seeded Atlanta Dream, the Fever play Game 1 of a best-of-five WNBA playoffs semifinal against second-seeded Las Vegas on Sunday at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Despite the Fever winning the three-game regular-season series against the Aces, 2-1, both teams have drastically changed since their last meeting on July 24. Indiana has had three season-ending injuries to players who appeared in that game: Sophie Cunningham (torn MCL), Sydney Colson (torn ACL) and Aari McDonald (broken bone in foot). Chloe Bibby (knee inflammation/discomfort) is also out with a season-ending injury, but she hadn’t yet signed with Indiana at the time of that Las Vegas game. Caitlin Clark (right groin) missed that July 24 game after suffering her injury earlier in the month.
Las Vegas is anchored by one of the best centers in the league, A’ja Wilson, who averaged 23.4 points per game in the regular season and boasts a staggering 29.3 points per game average in the playoffs.

According to the IndyStar’s Chloe Peterson, Indiana forward Damiris Dantas will be the only missing player from both teams’ available roster in Sunday’s game; she remains in concussion protocol.
