There's only one game on the WNBA schedule for Wednesday, and it's the Indiana Fever vs. Washington Mystics matchup. It will be held at the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. The Fever will be playing without Caitlin Clark, who has been ruled out for two weeks due to a quad injury.
The Mystics began the season with two straight wins but will enter Wednesday's game as losers of three in a row. The Fever, on the other hand, are 2-2, losing another close game last Saturday against the defending champions New York Liberty.
Fans can watch the Fever-Mystics game on local channels WTHR Channel 13 in Indianapolis and Monumental Sports Network in Washington, D.C. It's also available via live stream on FuboTV and WNBA League Pass, which are both paid subscriptions. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST.

Indiana Fever vs. Washington Mystics Preview
The Fever and Mystics had a testy matchup in the preseason, wherein Caitlin Clark was unable to play due to a quad injury. It's the same quad injury that will keep her out for the next two weeks.
Some Mystics players were about to dap up the Fever after the game, but their veteran players called them and left the court instead. It caused outrage online, with the Mystics getting called out by fans on social media.
It will be interesting to see if there's still tension between the two teams, with Clark not in the game.
