Fever Defeats Sky in Opener
The Indiana Fever kicked off their 2025 WNBA season with a solid performance, defeating the Chicago Sky 93-58 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. This defeat marked a challenging start for the Sky, who had aspirations of improvement in their second season.
Key Players Shine
Caitlin Clark led the Fever with an outstanding triple-double, contributing 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. Aliyah Boston also played a critical role, achieving a double-double with 19 points and 14 rebounds. Their standout performances were pivotal in the Fever's strong start to the season.
Sky Faces Challenges
For the Chicago Sky, the loss highlighted early difficulties, particularly in the absence of former player Chennedy Carter. After a season with an average of 17.5 points, Carter moved to a professional team in Mexico following her contract not being renewed. Her departure has sparked a wave of nostalgia among fans, many of whom have called for her return to help bolster the team's performance.
