Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark combined for 53 points, nine rebounds and 13 assists, while Aliyah Boston added 13 points and 11 rebounds.

The WNBA will review the Flagrant 2 and decide if they will suspend Carrington or not. She has since posted controversial messages on X. The former Baylor star also made it known that she is looking forward to Aug. 23 when Chicago and Indiana will meet again. The game will take place at an expected sold-out WinTrust Arena.

Cunningham and the Fever sit at 20-12 for the season and fourth in the standings. Meanwhile, Carrington and Co. are 11th with a 12-20 record. However, their win-loss slates won’t matter in their next face-off as emotions will likely run high and they will hard-fought in the matchup.
