The Indiana Fever have now lost two straight games, both of which came in the absence of Caitlin Clark.

Indiana suffered an 85-83 loss to the Connecticut Sun, handing the opposing team their first win of the season.

With the loss to Connecticut the Fever fell to 2-4 on the season, while the Sun now stand at 1-5 on the season.

During the game, the Fever suffered two brutal losses to the lineup. Guard's Sydney Colson and Sophie Cunningham

Cunningham left the game in the fourth quarter due to a right ankle injury.

According to Scott Agness, White said there are currently no injury updates on Cunningham, who has become a major part of the Fever's lineup.

Sophie Cunningham was helped off the court, limping her way into the locker room. Indiana Fever reporter Scott Agness mentioned that the injury for Cunningham was the same ankle she tweaked on May 10 against the Atlanta Dream.

After the game, Fever coach Stephanie White spoke on the loss. The Fever had a chance to earn a victory over the Sun late in the game, but wound up missing a go-ahead three at the buzzer.

"We weren’t looking for a 3 necessarily, we were just looking for a quick score," White said. "I think the 3 happened because the inbound didn’t come in cleanly."

As the Indiana Fever monitor Sophie Cunningham's injury, they will have a chance to bounce back from their loss to the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.
