INDIANAPOLIS \u2014 Kelsey Mitchell scored 26 points and Lexie Hull scored 17 points and the Indiana Fever beat the Chicago Sky 92-70 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Sophie Cunningham scored 10 of her 16 points before halftime and Aliyah Boston scored 15 points for Indiana (18-14).<\/p>\n
Hull was inserted into the starting lineup after the Fever ruled Friday that Sydney Colson would miss the remainder of the season due to a torn left ACL while fellow guard Aari McDonald was also ruled out for the rest of the season with a broken bone in her right foot.<\/p>\n
Indiana was again without guard Caitlin Clark who hasn\u2019t played since July 15 when she aggravated a previous groin injury during a game against Connecticut. There is no timetable for Clark’s return to action.<\/p>\n
For its part, the Sky didn’t have the services of Angel Reese due to a back injury. She’s missed five straight games and there is no set timetable for her return. She’s only played twice since the all-star break.<\/p>\n
The Fever built a 48-37 halftime lead shooting 17 for 33 (51.5 per cent) and finished 33 for 70 (47.1 per cent) overall. Hull shot 4-for-6 from three-point range and Mitchell 4-for-8 from distance.<\/p>\n
Rachel Banham scored 11 points and reserve Maddy Westbeld scored 10 for Chicago (8-23).<\/p>\n
Indiana started the third quarter with an 8-0 run and cruised from there. Mitchell’s shot with 2.9 seconds left in the quarter gave Indiana its first 20-point lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"INDIANAPOLIS \u2014 Kelsey Mitchell scored 26 points and Lexie Hull scored 17 points and the Indiana Fever beat…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":134324,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[62,67,132,68,232],"class_list":{"0":"post-134323","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us","12":"tag-wnba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115004469736062391","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134323\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
