The Indiana Fever went 5-2 without Caitlin Clark in June
This has been a difficult season for Caitlin Clark as she has struggled with injuries, making nine appearances. However, the Indiana Fever have slowly figured out how to operate when their star guard is out, going 5-2 without Clark in June.
During that stretch, the Fever defeated the Washington Mystics, Chicago Sky, Dallas Wings, Minnesota Lynx and Las Vegas Aces. Kelsey Mitchell, Natasha Howard and Aliyah Boston have stepped up in Clark’s absence.
The Iowa alum has missed the last four games, but Indiana has done well, winning three. Here’s a closer look at Mitchell, Howard and Boston’s stats per game over that stretch:
- Kelsey Mitchell: 22.3 points, 5.0 assists and 1.3 rebounds
- Natasha Howard: 13.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists
- Aliyah Boston: 16.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists
Indiana (9-8) is seventh in the league, trailing the Valkyries (9-7) in sixth by half a game. The team will return to the court on Saturday to face the LA Sparks at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Clark has been ruled out for Saturday’s game marking her 10th absence of the 2025 season.
