The Fever have three players listed on their injury report for Saturday, including Boston and Caitlin Clark.
Indiana has listed Boston as questionable due to a lower right leg injury and with Saturday’s matchup being the first game of a back-to-back for the Fever, they may elect to sit her.
The Fever have listed Clark as probable and she is expected to play despite dealing with a lingering back injury that she has dealt with throughout the season.
Damiris Dantas has been ruled out as she will miss the remainder of the season while recovering from left knee surgery.

The Liberty have three players listed on their injury report for Saturday, including center Jonquel Jones.
New York has listed Jones as questionable due to a left ankle injury that she suffered in Tuesday’s loss and while she said Friday that she would play against the Fever, there is a chance that she could miss her first game since June 8.
The Liberty have also listed Leonie Fiebich as questionable and there is a chance that she could return from a 16-game absence due to a left foot injury.
Satou Sabally has been ruled out as she is away from the team and recovering from a head injury that has sidelined her since June 25.

The good news for the Liberty is that Ionescu is off the injury report entirely after she shook off her questionable tag and returned from a one-game absence due to a left foot injury in Tuesday’s loss.
