On Wednesday, September 11, the Las Vegas Aces and Indiana Fever will play their third game of the season, which might serve as a potential WNBA playoff preview.
Indiana, with a 19–17 record, has the sixth seed going into this matchup with Las Vegas. In a hypothetical first-round game ranging from 3-6, Las Vegas (22-13) could face Indiana, only a few percentage points behind the third-seeded Connecticut Sun. Any Fever vs.
Sky game is intriguing enough with the superstar matchup between Caitlin Clark and A’ja Wilson, but the prospect that this is a postseason preview heightens the suspense. Due to a leg injury, Wilson was unable to play against the New York Liberty on Sunday.
However, head coach Becky Hammon’s pregame news raised doubts about Wilson’s potential long-term absence. Wilson is anticipated to make her comeback after the Aces made a major announcement on Tuesday stating that their injury report is completely clear for Wednesday’s game versus Indiana.
This is very exciting news for WNBA fans, as they will get to witness the much awaited superstar match between Wilson and Clark. This season, the Aces have defeated the Fever twice, both times in Las Vegas, to go 2-0 against them. The Fever, who are 11-6 on the season, will play this rematch in Indiana.
