Fever's Streak Ends Amidst Dantas Injury Blow
5 Aug
Summary
- Kelsey Mitchell scored 37 points, Clark added 19 and 10 assists.
- Damiris Dantas underwent knee surgery and will miss the season.
- The Fever lost their five-game winning streak to the Minnesota Lynx.
The Indiana Fever's five-game winning streak was broken on Sunday, as they lost to the Minnesota Lynx with a final score of 108-100. Kelsey Mitchell was a standout player, scoring 37 points, and Caitlin Clark added 19 points along with 10 assists. Despite this loss, the Fever maintain a strong position in the WNBA playoff race.
The team faces challenges due to injuries, notably the season-ending surgery for veteran forward Damiris Dantas. Dantas, who had been dealing with a left knee injury, underwent a successful meniscus repair and will not return this season. She was a valuable frontcourt option off the bench.
Looking ahead, Indiana has 14 regular-season games remaining and hopes for the health of its roster. Their next game is scheduled for Thursday at home against the Las Vegas Aces.
