The Indiana Fever return to action Tuesday night, looking to snap a two-game losing streak as they travel to Seattle to face the Storm. Despite the back-to-back losses, the Fever are 6-7 and sit third in the Eastern Conference.

Seattle enters the matchup at 9-5 and also holds third place in the Western Conference. The Storm have won three straight games heading into this one.

Indiana star Caitlin Clark is coming off a tough outing against the Las Vegas Aces. The second-year guard shot just 7-of-20 from the field, scoring 10 points, and was 1-of-10 from beyond the arc.

On Tuesday, Lexie Hull’s mother, Jaime, posted a strong show of support for Clark and her daughter on X, writing:

"Love this! You got this @CaitlinClark22 !! WE BELIEVE IN YOU!!! Now go have some fun playing the game you love. @IndianaFever @lexiehulll #gotyourbackgirl."

Hull, a 6-foot-1 guard out of Stanford, was drafted sixth overall by Indiana in 2022. Now in her third WNBA season, Hull is contributing 8.9 points and 4.2 rebounds per game in the backcourt.

In the recent loss to Las Vegas, Hull scored seven points, her third straight game finishing in single digits.

Clark is still finding her rhythm after returning from a left quadriceps injury that sidelined her for five games. She’s played eight games this season and is averaging 33.6 minutes and 19.8 points per contest.

Her best performance came on June 14 in a home win over the New York Liberty. Clark dropped 32 points in a 102-point team effort, helping Indiana notch a big victory.
