You might want to grab your popcorn for this one. The Indiana Fever are gearing up to host the New York Liberty at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 24, and yes, Caitlin Clark is all set to take the floor.
With the Liberty off to a hot 2-0 start and the Fever starting to show signs of real chemistry, this one could get spicy. Especially with Clark looking more comfortable each night out. But how healthy are both squads heading in? Let’s dig in.
Fever vs. Liberty Injury Report: Who’s In and Who’s Out?
The good news for Indiana Fever fans? Clark is not on the injury list.
After dropping buckets and showing more poise with every possession, she is locked in for Saturday’s faceoff. Indiana (2-1) has made noticeable strides on both ends of the court, especially on defense. And Clark’s connection with Aliyah Boston and DeWanna Bonner is only getting stronger.
That said, the Fever will be missing Kristy Wallace. The Aussie forward is sitting out the entire 2025 season due to personal reasons. No other players are listed on Indiana’s report, which means the squad is near full strength.
As for New York (2-0), the reigning Eastern Conference champs are rolling and nearly at full strength. The Liberty will be without Raquel Carrera, Ivana Dojkic, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, Seehia Ridard, and Annika Soltau after all five players were ruled out for the season. Despite that, New York’s core squad is looking as dangerous as ever, and they’ve been handling business.
Predicted Lineups & What to Expect
Indiana Fever Predicted Lineup
- Kelsey Mitchell
- Caitlin Clark
- DeWanna Bonner
- Natasha Howard
- Aliyah Boston
This lineup has slowly but surely been finding its rhythm. Clark has been taking smarter shots and cutting down on the turnovers, while Boston is starting to control the paint more consistently. Bonner brings the veteran edge, and Howard continues to be one of Indiana’s most underrated pieces.
New York Liberty Predicted Lineup
- Sabrina Ionescu
- Natasha Cloud
- Breanna Stewart
- Leonie Fiebich
- Jonquel Jones
On the other side, New York is expected to roll with the same lineup that has sparked a 2-0 start. It’s tough to find a weak link there. Stewart is already looking locked in, and Cloud continues to dictate the pace like it’s her playground.
The Liberty might still have the edge, but Indiana has the firepower to make this one more than just a highlight reel for the visitors. If Clark continues trending up and Boston dominates the boards, it could be a fun, gritty matchup.
