Is Temi Fagbenle playing vs the Washington Mystics?

The Indiana Fever's center, Temi Fagbenle, is listed out for the faceoff against the Washington Mystics on Wednesday. The Fever are currently on a two-game winning streak and have finally found winning momentum after struggling for the majority of the season.

Fagbenle has not starred in an Indiana Fever game since May 29, in the 88-82 loss against the Los Angeles Sparks. Fever will also be missing Damiris Dantas on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. She hasn't played in a single game this season.

This will be the second time that Fever plays Mystics this season. The last time they met, Fever walked out as the winner with a final score of 85-83. The Mystics currently have the worst record of 2-12 this season and will try their best to secure a win and get even.

Aaliyah Edwards facing off against Aaliyah Boston would be a matchup to look out for, as both stars are in great form. Boston has been the driving force behind Fever's win streak, while Edwards has kept her stats unfazed despite suffering repeated losses with her teams.
