"Kelsey Mitchell scored 27 points, Aliyah Boston totaled 18 points and 10 rebounds and Indiana beat the Aces for the first time in Las Vegas 84-68 with a couple of All-Stars sidelined on Sunday night. Las Vegas played without A'ja Wilson, the four-time league MVP who has missed three straight games with an ankle injury, and Indiana’s Caitlin Clark was held out for a third game as she recovers from a back injury. Wilson and Clark are both expected back soon.
"Without A'ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark on the floor, guard Kelsey Mitchell scored 27 points, including 10 free throws, and the Fever defeated the Las Vegas Aces for the first time in Nevada 84-68 on Sunday, improving Indiana's record to 12-8 on the season.
"For a game that lost a fair amount of star power between A’ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark being out, Sunday’s battle between the Las Vegas Aces and Indiana Fever was still an excellent litmus test for what each team could do without top players to rely on.
