 Fever Continues to Struggle in Absence of Top Star

The Atlanta Dream secured a commanding 77-58 victory over the Indiana Fever on Tuesday, marking the fifth consecutive game that Caitlin Clark has missed due to a left quadriceps strain. This win improved the Dream’s record to 6-3 this season, while the Fever, now at 4-5, have managed only two wins in three games without Clark.

Allisha Gray Shines with a Stellar 23-Point Performance

Atlanta Dream’s star Allisha Gray delivered an outstanding performance, scoring 23 points, grabbing 6 rebounds, dishing out 4 assists, and recording 2 steals, becoming the decisive factor in the team’s victory. Alongside her, Brionna Jones contributed 19 points and 7 rebounds, forming a formidable offensive duo for the Dream throughout the 40-minute contest.

Dream Overwhelms Fever in Second Half with 22-Point Margin

Despite a balanced start with a 33-33 tie at the end of the first half, the Atlanta Dream showcased their dominance in the second half, outscoring the Fever 44-22. This superiority was evident in their control of the rebounding battle (44-27) and points in the paint (46-28), highlighting the Fever’s struggles without their key player, Caitlin Clark.

Natasha Howard Fights Alone in Fever’s Offensive Effort

In a commendable but isolated performance, Natasha Howard was the only Fever player to record a double-double, contributing 15 points and 10 rebounds. Kelsey Mitchell, expected to fill Clark’s scoring role, managed only 11 points in a game where the Fever desperately needed more from their stars.

Caitlin Clark’s Return Date Remains Uncertain

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White stated that the team will remain “cautious” with Caitlin Clark’s injury, ensuring she is 100% healthy before returning to the court. Clark has been sidelined since May 24 following an injury in a 90-88 loss to the New York Liberty, and her prolonged absence is significantly impacting the Fever’s performance in the 2025 season.

Upcoming Matchup Could Shape the Season

The Dream currently lead the head-to-head series against the Fever 2-1 after three meetings this season, including a 91-90 win in their first encounter and an 81-76 loss in the second. The final regular-season matchup between the two teams is scheduled for July 11 and could prove pivotal in determining their playoff positioning.

Fever’s Future Hinges on Clark’s Return

The Fever’s 2-5 record in games without Caitlin Clark underscores their heavy reliance on the rookie star, raising questions about the team’s depth and competitiveness for the remainder of the season. Aliyah Boston, the 2023 Rookie of the Year, has posted impressive averages of 15.3 points and 7.6 rebounds per game but has yet to single-handedly carry the team’s offensive load.
