Indiana Fever Snap Losing Streak, Beat Mystics

The Indiana Fever ended a three-game losing streak with an 85-76 win over the Washington Mystics, marking their first victory since Caitlin Clark was sidelined by a quad injury. Despite injuries to Clark, Sophie Cunningham, and Sydney Colson, the team signed Aari McDonald under a hardship exemption, who quickly contributed defensively. Kelsey Mitchell led the team with 24 points, and Lexie Hull added 14 points with a strong all-around effort. Indiana's fast-paced offense and key third-quarter adjustments played a pivotal role in the win. Head coach Stephanie White praised the team’s resilience and composure as they continue to face roster challenges. The victory also gave the Fever a 1-0 start in the Commissioner's Cup and renewed optimism for the season.
