The Las Vegas Aces will host the Indiana Fever this Sunday afternoon for the first matchup this season. Stars A’ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark return from injuries, though both teams are navigating through challenges.
The Fever’s record dropped to .500 after a recent 88-77 defeat to the Golden State Valkyries. In contrast, the Aces are struggling, currently on a three-game losing streak, with a 5-7 record following a 90-83 loss to the Seattle Storm.
Despite winning all four regular-season meetings with the Fever last year, the Aces might find themselves outmatched as Indiana has shown better form this season.

Aces Struggling Despite A’ja Wilson’s Return
After missing three games due to concussion protocol, Wilson made her return against the Storm, where she logged a double-double but could not help the Aces secure a win. Coach Becky Hammon acknowledged Wilson’s rough return and highlighted that the team has been dealing with issues of depth and consistency.
Jackie Young has been significant for the Aces, averaging 18.4 points per game, though Hammon seeks increased energy from her starting lineup and recognized the performance of rookie Aaliyah Nye.
Caitlin Clark’s Need for Recovery
Clark flirted with a triple-double during the Fever’s loss to the Valkyries, but her overall efficiency was questionable. With prior games missed due to a quad strain, she remains a hopeful MVP candidate this season. Aliyah Boston, a formidable player for the Fever, also had a noteworthy performance, contributing to her team’s efforts with impressive stats despite their loss.
