Indiana Fever Release Brutal Injury Report For Game 2 vs. Aces

As if the Indiana Fever's injury report could get any longer, the franchise added two more names to the ever-growing list ahead of Tuesday night's tip-off vs. the Las Vegas Aces.

After already losing Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham for the season, the Fever could reportedly be missing five ladies from their rotation in Game 2 of the WNBA semifinals.

Indiana was still able to steal a massive 89-73 win on the road thanks to 34 points from Kelsey Mitchell and some nice contributions from forward Odyssey Sims and veteran All-Star Natasha Howard. And it's once again going to take a complete team effort for the franchise to keep its unlikely playoff run going.

With that said though, Becky Hammond and four-time MVP A'ja Wilson aren't going to make it easy on them as they attempt to hold serve at Michelob ULTRA Arena tonight.

Fever add Hull, Dantas to injury report

According to Fever beat reporter Scott Agness, Indiana could possibly be without two of their most impactful players in Game 2.

Posting to X: "Lexie Hull has been added to the Fever injury report — for her back. Questionable. Damiris Dantas (concussion protocol) remains back in Indy. She’s missing her fifth straight game."

Hull and Dantas join Clark (groin), Cunningham (knee) and Chloe Bibby (knee) who were all ruled out for the remainder of the regular season with their injuries.

Aces entering 'must-win'

As strongly as the Aces finished the season, Sunday's Game 1 stunner has really put Las Vegas behind the 8-ball. Vegas remains the favorite in the series, but all of the sudden Game 2 is looking like a must-win for this Aces squad.

No team has ever come back from a 2-0 deficit in the WNBA playoffs, so A'ja Wilson would have the opportunity to make even more history should they fall down 0-2.

The Aces are favored by 9.5 points in Tuesday's 9:30 PM ET. But if this year is any indication, Mitchell and the Fever are going to have a lot to say about that before it's all said and done.
