Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever will defend their home floor against the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday. The Fever will be gunning for a win to avoid a season sweep against their opponent, who have won their three previous meetings.
Entering the game as the second seed in the WNBA standings, the Sun will continue to test themselves ahead of the playoffs after already securing a postseason spot on Saturday.
Meanwhile, a win for the Fever would mean a better chance of clinching a playoff spot as they currently sit at seventh in the standings, 3.5 games ahead of the eighth-seed Chicago Sky.

Indiana Fever vs Connecticut Sun injury report
According to IndyStar Sports writer Chloe Peterson, the Indiana Fever could play without Katie Lou Samuelson due to personal reasons. Samuelson also missed most of the Fever’s win against the Atlanta Dream on Monday for the same reason.
Lexie Hull is expected to step up in Samuelson’s absence. Hull played 30 minutes in their last game and was crucial down the stretch to salvage the win.
Meanwhile, the Sun will be complete as no player is listed on the injury report.
Indiana Fever vs Connecticut Sun: Preview
The Connecticut Sun will enter the game as one of the hottest teams in the league, winning four of their last five games and establishing a 22-7 record. They score the eighth-most points in the league with 79.9 per game including 42.5% from the field.
The Sun will face top rookie Caitlin Clark who is averaging 18.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists, and 1.4 steals per game this season. She has been the focal point of the Fever, helping the team reach 14 wins — their most since 2016.
On the other hand, the Sun will continue to lean on Alyssa Thomas and Dijonai Carrington. They are two of the league’s top defenders and will look to make it tough for Clark to score and facilitate the Fever's offense.
In terms of head-to-head matchup, the Sun has been superior against the Fever, winning 58 of their 89 all-time games.
