The Indiana Fever were heavily beaten 86-66 by the Minnesota Lynx in their regular-season finale, ending their hopes of a more favourable playoff draw. The defeat means Indiana will face the defending champion Las Vegas Aces, led by MVP contender A’ja Wilson, rather than the Atlanta Dream.

Caitlin Clark endured a career-low performance, scoring two points on 1-of-12 shooting, with three assists and four rebounds in 18 minutes. Indiana trailed 62-32 at half-time, lost Aliyah Boston and Ty Harris to injuries, but Kelsey Mitchell offered a positive note by hitting her 135th three-pointer to set a single-season WNBA record; the Fever finished 28-15.
