The Indiana Fever beat the Phoenix Mercury 92-89 in a game highlighted by a late comeback and a winning shot by Kelsey Mitchell, with Caitlin Clark unavailable and listed in street clothes. Multiple reports describe Mitchell scoring 29 points, including a layup with 10.1 seconds remaining that gives Indiana a 90-89 lead. After that basket, Sophie Cunningham adds two free throws to seal the final margin. Tyasha Harris is reported to help drive the Fever’s late surge, which allows Indiana to overcome a close game late and secure the win.
Aliyah Boston contributes 21 points for the Fever. Clark’s absence is consistent across the coverage, with the team playing without her in the lineup. The Fever improve to 13-9, while the Mercury fall to their opponent in a tightly contested finish. The win follows a previous setback for Indiana, which had lost 106-92 to the Los Angeles Sparks the night before.
