WNBA Applauds Indiana Fever Star After Blowout Over Aces originally appeared on Athlon Sports. WNBA All-Star guard Caitlin Clark continues to miss games for the Indiana Fever due to a strained groin. But they have been doing all right without her, and in fact, in some of the fans' opinion, they have been surging.

The Indiana Fever entered Thursday's contest against the Las Vegas Aces riding the high of winning their first-ever WNBA Commissioner's Cup championship just days earlier. That high was only further elevated with a dominant 81-54 victory over the Aces, led by guard Kelsey Mitchell with 25 points, six assists and two steals in just 29 minutes.

The Indiana Fever's upward trajectory continues. Indiana beat the Minnesota Lynx 74-59 on Tuesday to win the 2025 WNBA Commissioner's Cup championship, doing so on the road. Without Caitlin Clark still due to a groin injury, Indiana got off to a slow start in the first quarter before leveraging a 20-7 second-quarter advantage.
