Caitlin Clark has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs the Minnesota Lynx. The Indiana Fever will also be missing the services of Sophie Cunningham and Aari McDonald. Meanwhile, Minnesota (29-7) will be going for back-to-back victories over Indiana after its 95-90 win on Friday.
A spate of injuries has forced Indiana to look elsewhere to try to replenish its roster. On Sunday, the Fever signed guard Aerial Powers to a seven-day hardship contract.

In 13 games this year, Clark has averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, and 5.0 rebounds.
Tyrese Haliburton recently admitted that he is taking small steps forward in his recovery from an Achilles injury. The Indiana Pacers' star point guard also spoke about working out with Clark.

“It's been important just to have somebody to lean on and talk to. I think we've grown the relationship to where we can talk about more than just basketball. Obviously, we connect a lot through basketball. We get guarded the same sometimes. Our offensive issues, our defensive issues — they're similar,” he said.
"So it sucks that she's been hurt for as long as she has, but for us to be able to communicate, even in her recovery, has been great," he added. "We lift at the same time, so it's just us two in the weight room, and we spend a lot of time together. I guess it's a good thing, but I wish she was playing. Still, it's good to have each other to lean on in a time like this."
