Stephanie White and the Indiana Fever are coming off a big win on Sunday. They took down the defending champs, the Las Vegas Aces, on the road with an impressive 109-75 blowout win at Michelob ULTRA Arena.
Kelsey Mitchell led the way again for the Fever, going off for a game-high 27 points on 8-of-16 shooting. Caitlin Clark, who missed three out of Indiana’s last four games due to a back injury, returned for 12 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
Aliyah Boston chipped in with a 19-point, 11-rebound double-double. Sophie Cunningham caught fire from beyond the arc, knocking down six triples for 20 points.
The Fever improved to 14-9 after their statement win over A’ja Wilson and Co.
Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White shares update on Myisha Hines-Allen
Veteran forward Myisha Hines-Allen had played in all 22 Fever games heading into Sunday’s matchup. However, the 31-year-old did not see any action against the Aces.
White was asked about Hines-Allen’s absence during the postgame press conference. The Fever coach announced an unfortunate update on the 6-foot-2 forward.
“No,” White responded when asked if Hines-Allen was nursing an injury. “Myisha had a family thing that she was dealing with. And we just kind of let her have today to herself.”
White did not provide any details on Hines-Allen’s situation. However, the veteran posted on Saturday that she attended her grandmother’s funeral. This unfortunate development forced Hines-Allen to miss Sunday’s marquee matchup.
Hines-Allen joined the Fever in the offseason via free agency. She’s no superstar, but the former All-WNBA forward is a key piece of Coach White’s rotation. Hines-Allen is currently averaging 4.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 15.4 minutes per contest.
The silver lining here is that she appears to be on track to return for Indiana’s next game. The Fever have already submitted their injury report for Wednesday’s matchup, and Hines-Allen was not listed.
