Even without Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham, the Indiana Fever blew out the Chicago Sky, 79-52, on Saturday.

Iowa Hawkeye legend Caitlin Clark leaves a positive impact wherever she goes. While the WNBA superstar is currently out of action with a quad injury with the Indiana Fever, she’s played a significant role in the success of Indiana’s other basketball franchise.

McDonald recently joined the Fever through a hardship contract after Cunningham, Clark and guard Sydney Colson got injured. While the former No. 3 overall draft pick has struggled thus far in the WNBA, she has scored in double figures in two of her three games with the Fever.

Aliyah Boston makes Indiana Fever history by moving into the franchise’s top five for blocks, despite a tough loss to the Atlanta Dream.

Behind a big second-half surge Tuesday night, the Atlanta Dream defeated the Indiana Fever 77-58 in WNBA Commissioner's Cup play, improving to 6-3 on the season

One player who stepped up in her absence is Kelsey Mitchell. On June 3 against the Washington Mystics, she scored 24 points, two rebounds and three assists. Meanwhile, against the Chicago Sky on Saturday, she put up 17 points, five rebounds and two assists.

Allisha Gray scored 23 points, Brionna Jones added a season-high 21 and the Atlanta Dream beat Indiana 77-58 as the Fever again played without Caitlin Clark.

There are a few simple facts of life: what goes up must come down, the Earth revolves around the sun, and Caitlin Clark is simply lethal with a basketball in her hands.
