The overarching storyline of the WNBA this season has been Caitlin Clark, or you could see the lack of her due to unfortunate injuries, causing multiple stints of absences. The face of the league, Caitlin Clark, has been struck by the injury bu,g and the Indiana Fever are being cautious with her return.

Two months ago, Indiana wouldn't have been able to win a game like it did Sunday. But Fever fended off late Seattle run for their fifth-straight win.

Pelton predicts Indiana will trade center Damiris Dantas and a 2026 second-round draft pick to Dallas for Hines-Allen, a former All-WNBA second team selection who is no stranger to a midseason trade. She was dealt to Minnesota last summer and played throughout the Lynx's run to the WNBA Finals.
