The Indiana Fever are set to return to action Tuesday when they face the New York Liberty in a challenging WNBA matchup.
Indiana enters the contest on the heels of a 90-86 road victory over the Chicago Sky at the United Center on Saturday. The win helped the Fever snap a two-game losing streak and improve to 20-12 on the season, leaving them fifth in the WNBA standings.
Is Caitlin Clark playing tonight?
The Fever have three players appearing on their injury report for Tuesday’s game, with Caitlin Clark among them.
However, Indiana has listed Clark as probable, and the Fever star is expected to be available despite continuing to manage a lingering back issue that has affected her throughout the season.
Clark thriving in 2026 season
Clark has remained in the lineup since July 9 and has not missed a game since then. She has featured in 28 of Indiana’s 32 games during the 2026 campaign.
Clark is putting together the most productive scoring season of her WNBA career so far. Through 28 games this season, the Fever star is averaging 21.6 points per game, marking the highest scoring average of her professional career to this point.
She has also continued to make a major impact as a playmaker, averaging 8.1 assists per game.

Fever injury list
Grace Vanslooten is also listed as questionable for Tuesday because of an illness.
Damiris Dantas will remain unavailable for the rest of the season as she continues her recovery from left knee surgery.
Fever seek another road win
Clark was instrumental in Indiana’s latest victory over Chicago, leading the Fever with 26 points, four rebounds and 11 assists. Kelsey Mitchell also produced a strong offensive performance, finishing with 27 points and five rebounds.
The Fever will now look to build on that victory and secure another important win when they take on the Liberty.
New York, meanwhile, enters Tuesday’s matchup with a 20-13 record. The Liberty are also coming off a victory, having defeated the Las Vegas Aces at home in convincing fashion on Sunday afternoon.
