The Indiana Fever enter their matchup against the Dallas Wings on Friday with a 7-8 record, sitting fourth in the Eastern Conference and just outside of the playoff picture.

After an encouraging 5-3 stretch in June, the team has been hampered by inconsistent finishes and key injuries, notably dropping three of their last four contests despite holding double-digit leads late in games.

Amid these on-court challenges, the Fever made headlines off the court by taking to X on Friday to urge fans to cast their ballots on the final double voting day of the WNBA All-Star fan poll.

The team spotlighted five players: Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, Lexie Hull and Natasha Howard, encouraging supporters to rally behind their stars.

This push comes as the Fever prepare to host the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on July 19.

Indiana’s fortunes this season have been closely tied to the availability of Clark, who, selected first overall in the 2024 WNBA draft, has quickly become the face of the franchise.

This season, she’s averaging 18.2 points, 8.9 assists, 5 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game, shooting 39.0% from the field and 29.5% from 3-point range in nine games.

However, a left quadriceps strain sidelined her for five games, and after a brief return, Clark will now be out of the Wings game and potentially longer, with her status being described as "day-to-day."

With the Dallas game setting the tone for a critical stretch of the schedule, Indiana will aim to reignite their season and keep playoff aspirations alive without its star player.
