Fever Host Tempo on Tuesday

Indiana Fever News Release
The Indiana Fever return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Tuesday with a three-game winning streak in tow as they host the expansion Toronto Tempo in their penultimate Commissioner's Cup contest. Indiana was eliminated from Commissioner's Cup Championship contention with the New York Liberty's win over the Washington Mystics on Sunday, but all Commissioner's Cup contests still count toward a team's regular season win-loss record.
Indiana's latest victory came in its final visit to Mohegan Sun Arena. The Fever downed the Connecticut Sun, 85-75, behind a 25-point game from Caitlin Clark. Clark shot 58 percent from the field (10-for-17), including 50 percent from deep (5-for-10) as she and Kelsey Mitchell (19 points) powered the Fever to their third straight win.
Toronto's last outing was a 102-77 defeat at the hands of the Atlanta Dream. Brittney Sykes and Marina Mabrey have been a powerful offensive punch for the Tempo - Sykes averages over 20 points per game and Mabrey follows with nearly 18 points nightly - but Toronto couldn't overcome the Dream's high-octane backcourt pairing of Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray.
The Tempo continue to navigate the absence of rookie guard Kiki Rice (12.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists) following her significant ankle sprain on June 3. Rice has been sidelined for nearly two weeks as she rehabs the injury, and her status for Tuesday's matchup with the Fever is in question.
The Fever host the Tempo in the first game of a two-game homestand this week as they close out Commissioner's Cup play in Gainbridge Fieldhouse. After challenging the Tempo on Tuesday, June 16, Indiana will host a rematch with the Atlanta Dream on Thursday, June 18.
