The Indiana Fever snapped their two-game losing skid on Thursday and appeared ready to start stringing wins together. However, they failed to record back-to-back wins two days later, losing 83-75 to the New York Liberty.

Breanna Stewart wreaked havoc inside the paint, forcing Indiana defenders to foul her. She finished with a game-high 30 points built on 18-of-21 free throws, along with eight rebounds and four steals.

On the flip side, Kelsey Mitchell, Monique Billings, Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark led the Fever by combining for 59 points.

Next up for them is a road clash with the Washington Mystics on Monday. It will be an opportunity for Indiana to return to above .500 before they return home to host the Chicago Sky on Thursday.

Indiana Fever issue injury report for Mystics game

Fever fans received concerning news as the team announced that Boston is questionable to face the Mystics. The three-time All-Star is dealing with a lower leg injury, which she sustained in the Liberty game. Meanwhile, Clark has a probable tag despite her back issue.

The center is once again playing at an All-Star level. She is averaging 15.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. Boston’s inside presence has been key to providing Indiana’s backcourt with more space and open looks.

If she misses Monday’s matchup, the team could insert Myisha Hines-Allen or Sophie Cunningham into the starting lineup. The 24-year-old’s health will be closely monitored as the season progresses, as it could determine how far the Fever will go.

Meanwhile, Clark has already missed one game this season. She has been on a tear since the campaign started, with averages of 18.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.0 steals. However, the superstar guard has struggled with field-goal efficiency, shooting 37.7%. A final injury report indicating Clark and Boston’s availability is expected to be released closer to tip-off.
