Las Vegas Aces Make Big Announcement Before Game Against Indiana Fever, Caitlin Clark

The Las Vegas Aces and Indiana Fever will play a potential WNBA playoff preview on Wednesday, September 11 when they face off for the third time this season.

With a 19-17 record, Indiana will enter this game against Las Vegas in sole possession of the sixth seed. Just percentage points behind the third seed Connecticut Sun, Las Vegas (22-13) could see Indiana in a potential 3-6 first round matchup.

The superstar battle between Caitlin Clark and A'ja Wilson brings enough intrigue to any Fever vs. Aces game, but the possibility of this being a playoff preview adds even more excitement.

Wilson missed Sunday's game against the New York Liberty due to a leg injury, but a pregame update from head coach Becky Hammon indicated little concern for a longterm absence.

In a big announcement from the Aces on Tuesday, it was revealed that their injury report is entirely clean for Wednesday's game against Indiana, meaning Wilson is expected to make her return.

This is huge news, as WNBA fans can expect to see the highly anticipated superstar battle between Wilson and Clark.

The Aces are 2-0 against the Fever this season, defeating them in Las Vegas both times. This rematch will be played in Indiana where the Fever are 11-6 on the season.

Indiana owns the WNBA's second-best record (8-2) since the Olympic break, trailing only the 9-1 Minnesota Lynx. The Aces are just 6-5 since the WNBA schedule resumed.

Wednesday's game between the Aces and Fever projects to be an exciting one.
