Caitlin Clark Loses Top Franchise Spot as Fever Record Book Shifts

The Indiana Fever notched an impressive victory on Sunday afternoon, taking down the Connecticut Sun with a 99-93 final score in overtime. This victory stopped a two-game losing skid and improved the team's season record to 19-16.

The Fever recorded this win despite some serious injury issues. The team lost both Sydney Colson (ACL) and Aari McDonald (foot) to season-ending injuries earlier this month. And during the second quarter on Sunday, Sophie Cunningham suffered what appeared to be a serious leg injury.

Caitlin Clark has missed the last month of on-court action since a groin injury she suffered on July 15.

The healthy players on the Fever roster delivered on Sunday. Kelsey Mitchell recorded a game-high 38 points and Aliyah Boston notched a 14-point, 13-rebound double-double in the victory.

With her 15th double-double of the year, Aliyah Boston set the all-time single-season franchise record for the Fever. She overtook the No. 1 spot from Clark, who set the previous record of 14 in her 2024 Rookie of the Year campaign.

Boston also holds the No. 3 spot on the Fever's franchise list, recording 13 double-doubles in 2024.

"AB, the double-double machine," the Fever wrote on X. "Congrats to Aliyah Boston on becoming the new franchise leader for most double-doubles in a single season with 15 & counting!"
