Ion aired a feature before the game on Friday night, letting Bueckers and Clark gush about the other. Clark called Bueckers a "winner," saying that she has always been a fan from afar. They both grew up in the Midwest and competed against each other throughout high school, as well as a few times in college.

The Indiana Fever ran their winning streak to four games with a victory over the Wings in Dallas, despite Caitlin Clark's continued absence.

The Indiana Fever have adjusted without Caitlin Clark and will take a season-best four-game winning streak into Sunday's road game against the Seattle Storm.
