During one play late in the third quarter, Bonner tried to make a tough shot over Lexie Hull but air-balled instead. A Mercury player recovered the rebound and fed it back to Bonner for a second chance, but Bonner missed the layup right before the shot clock expired.

Despite Clark being out, the Fever have remained afloat. Currently, they hold a 14-12 record and are trying to keep themselves within striking distance of the playoffs. While the fans and Indiana have been patient with Clark, she is facing major backlash after her latest off the court move.

C aitlin Clark missed her fifth consecutive game on Wednesday due to a right groin injury, but her teammates once again had her back. The Indiana Fever held off the Phoenix Mercury in a high-scoring affair at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, 107-101, to extend their winning streak to three games.
