The Fever, the new 2025 Commissioner's Cup Champions, return home Thursday to face off against the Aces but will once again be without Caitlin Clark.

The loss amplified a lack of late-game resolve that had plagued the Fever even after Clark's return. Indiana was talented, no doubt, but it struggled to maintain leads and weather adversity in crunch time. Losing Clark again and losing to the Sparks in the same day cemented that this Fever team just couldn't catch a break.
