Key Indiana Fever Player Receives Big Injury Update For Dallas Wings Game

On Wednesday, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever will play their last game before the Olympic break against the Dallas Wings. The Fever are in the midst of a two-game winning streak and look to head into the break on a high note.

Backup forward Temi Fagbenle last played on July 2 against the Las Vegas Aces. She has been out since with a right thumb injury, and she will have to wait another month before playing another WNBA game, as she has been ruled out against the Wings.

Fagbenle has only played in 11 total games this season, and the Wings game will be her 15th missed contest in 2024.

Fagbenle first suffered a foot injury on May 28 against the Los Angeles Sparks, which held her out for nearly a month. When she returned, she was able to play in three games before suffering a separate thumb injury against the Aces.

In the 2024 season, the former USC Trojans star is averaging 8.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 21.6 minutes per game off the bench.

The Fever-Wings matchup will begin on Wednesday, July 17, at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
