Fever Ready for Liberty Test with Possible Clark Comeback on Tap

The Indiana Fever are back home at Gainbridge Fieldhouse this Saturday with a golden opportunity—and a towering challenge—when they take on the unbeaten New York Liberty in a nationally televised showdown on ABC at 3 p.m.

The Liberty come in as the WNBA’s last undefeated team at 9-0, with Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart anchoring an elite lineup that leads the league in scoring and assists. But Indiana’s not backing down from the fight.

In fact, the Fever may be getting a major boost—rookie sensation Caitlin Clark is trending toward a return after missing the last five games with a quad injury. Clark, who has quickly become the face of the franchise, has been participating in light workouts and is listed as a game-time decision. Her return would instantly elevate Indiana’s offensive potential and draw even more national spotlight to this East vs. East showdown.

Without Clark, the Fever have leaned on Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, and Lexi Hull to keep the engine running—and they’ve done just that, currently sitting third in the Eastern Conference with a 4-5 record.

This is more than just a game—it’s a measuring stick matchup for a team that’s hoping to fast-track its rebuild and prove it belongs among the league’s elite. The crowd will be loud, the lights will be bright, and with Clark possibly returning, the Fieldhouse might be the place to be this weekend.
