The Indiana Fever take on Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky Saturday night at the United Center. It’s the second meeting between the two teams this season, with Indiana winning the first in commanding fashion, 93-58, back on May 17.

However, the Fever will be without star Caitlin Clark, who remains out with a left quadriceps strain she suffered during Indiana’s May 24 matchup against the New York Liberty.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the Fever continued their "Get to Know" social media series, this time, featuring guard Lexie Hull. Hull revealed the one weird thing she loves is A1 sauce and cheddar cheese.

Clark took her reaction to the comments, writing, “A1 and cheddar. What does that even mean?... Huhhhhhh ."

Just two days later, it was Clark's turn for the "Get to Know" series. The Fever posted, and Clark commented on her own feature.

"Not weird like you @lexiehulll," Clark wrote, referencing Hull's love for A1 sauce and cheddar cheese. Hull had a witty comeback of her own, though.

"@caitlinclark22 Super uninteresting gal but this does explain why you’ve always been obsessed with me and @lacie.hull. 

The two shared a playful back-and-forth ahead of the much-anticipated Saturday night showdown in Chicago. Although Clark will be watching from the bench, she and the Fever are hopeful for a return sooner than expected, after a reevaluation this weekend.

“I'm not going to rush coming back,” Clark said. “It's just not worth it. But after this weekend, I'll be re-evaluated and we'll have a better idea.”

The two Eastern Conference rivals are set to tip off Saturday at 8 pm EST.
