The Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever had plenty of fireworks during their matchup on May 17. The Fever wound up winning the contest 93-58 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Angel Reese recorded a double-double. Caitlin Clark earned a triple-double. But it was Clark’s flagrant 1 foul on Reese that caused headlines in the Fever’s route in the season opener.
The heated rivalry between Clark and Reese was expected to ratchet up a notch when the Fever travel to play the Sky at the United Center on June 7. However, Clark suffered a quad injury, and Indiana announced on Monday that Clark was set to miss two weeks, including the Fever’s matchup against Chicago.
Reese and the Sky have been in a funk to start the season, going 0-3 before their Tuesday night game against the Phoenix Mercury. The team has failed to score 80 points in a game, and Reese leads Chicago in turnovers with 19 through the first three games.
With news of Reese struggling and Clark’s injury, ticket prices have plummeted for the June 7 matchup.
Per Front Office Sports and TickPick, prices to see Reese go against a Clark-less Fever have dropped 71% since the announcement of Clark’s injury.
“Clark’s injury has sent get-in ticket prices for the Fever’s rivalry game against the Sky down 71% from $86 to $25, per @TickPick,” FOS posted on X. “The June 7 game was moved to the United Center, the 21,000-seat home of the Chicago Bulls—the largest arena in the NBA.”

The Sky and Fever are set to play three more games after June 7. Chicago will host Indiana one more time when they play on June 27 at the United Center.
WNBA fans who bought tickets for that game will have to hope Clark is 100% by then. It wouldn’t hurt to see Reese and the Sky play cleaner offense and tougher defense before the matchup.
