Opening bell: This one promises to be remarkable, with the Lynx, playing on the back end their second and last back-to-back of the season, retire Maya Moore Irons’ jersey. And this, with Fever All-Star rookie Caitlin Clark — a fan of Moore Irons growing up — also in the building. This is the second of three games vs. the Fever this season. Indiana beat the Lynx at Target Center July 14, 81-74 after out-scoring the Lynx 28-14 in that game. The Fever (13-15) has won two straight and three of four. And they haven’t played since an impressive victory over Seattle Sunday, in which they outscored the Storm 33-17 in the fourth quarter.
Watch her: Clark is averaging 17.8 points, 8.3 assists and 5.4 rebounds. In her last five games those numbers are 22.6, 11.4 and 5.0.
Injuries: Fever C Temi Fagbenle (thumb) is probable.
Forecast: It will be a challenge playing a rested Fever team on the back end of a back-to-back.
With four games remaining, the Lynx are second in the WNBA standings, with the playoffs coming soon.
