Caitlin Clark, Fever Host Defending Champion Liberty in Nationally Televised Game

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are set to face a tough challenge this Saturday as they host the reigning WNBA champions, the New York Liberty, in a highly anticipated nationally televised game. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

The Fever are riding a wave of momentum, coming off an 81-76 victory against the Atlanta Dream. While Clark contributed 11 points, six assists, and four rebounds in the win, her streak of 140 consecutive games with a three-pointer came to an end. This marked the first time Clark had failed to connect from beyond the arc since a game against Purdue in January 2022.

Natasha Howard spearheaded the Fever's offense in the previous game, scoring a remarkable 26 points, proving to be a key factor in their victory.

The Liberty, led by stars Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart, are coming into the game fresh off a dominant 99-74 win against the Chicago Sky. Ionescu recorded 16 points and five assists, while Natasha Cloud contributed 18 points and eight assists, demonstrating the Liberty's potent offensive firepower.

Fans eager to catch the action can tune in to CBS for television coverage. Streaming options are also available through Paramount+ and Fubo, which offers a free trial for new subscribers. This game promises to be a compelling matchup between a rising Fever team and the defending champion Liberty.
