The Indiana Fever are heading into a hostile game with several players out of the lineup.
Indiana will be missing Caitlin Clark due to an injury and Damiris Dantas due to an overseas commitment for their matchup against the Minnesota Lynx.
Before the Fever face the Lynx on Tuesday night for the Commissioner’s Cup Championship, Dantas sent a message to the team.
Dantas shared her support for the Fever while she’s competing in the 2025 FIBA EuroBasket tournament with the Brazilian National Team.
Damiris Dantas wishes the squad good luck in the Commissioner’s Cup Championship,” posted the official social media account of the Indiana Fever.
“Hey Fever,” Dantas said. “Good luck. I miss you.”
Damiris Dantas temporarily left the team during her second season with the Indiana Fever.
In her second season with the Fever, Dantas has posted 5.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game, serving as a vital piece to the front court for head coach Stephanie White.
While they will be missing Dantas, the Fever will rely on inside production from Aliyah Boston, Natasha Howard and company against the Lynx.
Indiana has certainly proven that they have the ability to compete with teams at the highest level of the league, but the Lynx, who ranked No. 1 in the WNBA, may be a handful without their entire lineup.
Minnesota sits at 14-2 on the season, while the Fever are ranked as the No. 3 team in the Eastern Conference and No. 8 in the WNBA standings with an 8-8 record.
