Fever Push Playoffs, Sky Struggle Without Carter

The Indiana Fever, led by rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, continue their push towards the playoffs, aiming for their first berth since 2016 after a significant win against the Chicago Sky. Clark's stellar performance included a career-high 31 points and 12 assists, contributing to the Fever's remarkable turnaround from a 1-8 start to winning 15 of their last 23 games. Conversely, the Chicago Sky are struggling, having lost their last four games, including a 74-70 defeat to the Washington Mystics. Chicago's leading scorer, Chennedy Carter, is out due to health and safety protocols, impacting the team's performance significantly. Carter's absence follows a COVID-19 scare within the team, which led to the cancellation of a practice session. The Sky are currently fighting for the final playoff spot, highlighting the critical nature of their upcoming games.
