The Indiana Fever have a big game on Sunday as they take on the Chicago Sky in a highly anticipated rivalry showdown. The Fever are looking to make it back-to-back wins after their 80-70 victory over the Aces on Thursday, while the Sky are in dire need of a bounce-back win after their 38-point blowout to the Seattle Storm, their fourth consecutive loss.

The game will be played at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena, which means that the Fever have had to travel for another road game. The players flew to Chicago on Sunday, and the likes of Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull wasted no time making their presence known in the Windy City.

Both Cunningham and Hull took to Instagram to post about their arrival in Chicago. Cunningham shared a video from the team bus, which featured a quick cameo from Caitlin Clark. Hull, on the other hand, posted a snap from what appears to be Oak Street Beach along the Lake Michigan shoreline.

Fever-Sky Rivalry Showdown

The Fever will need strong performances from Cunningham and Hull, among others, as they look to take down the Sky on their own home court. Cunningham has been on a heater of late, scoring in double digits in her last six games.

The 6-foot-1 guard will likely get the nod to start again with Clark still out of action due to a re-aggravated groin injury.

As for Hull, the veteran guard will want to bounce back after being held scoreless in Indiana’s win over the Aces. She’s one of the best defenders on the roster as well, and they will need her to be on point on both ends of the floor come Sunday.
