Indiana Fever Beat Dallas Wings Without Caitlin Clark

The Indiana Fever defeated the Dallas Wings at the American Airlines Center in their third meeting of the season, drawing a large crowd despite star Caitlin Clark missing her sixth straight game due to injury. The Fever extended their winning streak to four games, with Kelsey Mitchell and Natasha Howard leading the team in Clark's absence. Dallas welcomed back forward Maddy Siegrist after a 17-game knee injury layoff, which ended the team's hardship contract eligibility and resulted in Grace Berger being waived. Siegrist's return gave Dallas a needed roster boost, though her conditioning remained a concern. The matchup highlighted both teams' resilience amidst injuries and adjustments, reflecting the increasing popularity of the WNBA. The move to a larger venue underscored significant fan demand for high-profile games.
