The Indiana Fever extended their winning run to three games with a commanding 123-88 victory over the Connecticut Sun, setting a new franchise scoring record in the process. The win came just hours after star guard Caitlin Clark was unveiled as a cover athlete for NBA 2K27, dispelling suggestions of a so-called "cover curse" that some fans jokingly associate with athletes featured on the game's artwork.

The 123-88 scoreline represents the most points the Fever have scored in a single game in franchise history, underlining the team's strong recent form. Clark's cover reveal coincided directly with the record-breaking performance, reinforcing her standing as the WNBA's most prominent player amid a season already marked by heightened attention on her treatment on court and record television viewership figures for the league.
