Indiana Fever defeat Las Vegas Aces 84-68 in Las Vegas

The Indiana Fever beat the Las Vegas Aces 84-68 at the T‑Mobile Arena, marking the Aces’ first loss in Las Vegas this season. Kelsey Mitchell scored 27 points and Aliyah Boston posted an 18‑point, 10‑rebounds double‑double. The win came despite the Fever missing star guard Caitlin Clark, who was sidelined with a back injury, and the Aces playing without MVP A’ja Wilson, out with a leg injury.

Both teams were missing multiple All‑Stars; the Aces also lost Dana Evans and Janiay Barker to leg injuries, while the Fever’s Sophie Cunningham was listed as ill. The game featured strong contributions from Lexi Hull (10 points) and Jackie Young (15 points) for the Aces, and from Raven Johnson, who added a layup in the fourth quarter.

In the days leading up to the matchup, the Fever announced a coaching staff change: assistant Karima Christmas‑Kelly began maternity leave and scout‑coach Tully Bevilaqua was promoted to interim assistant, while veteran Gary Kloppenburg returned as an interim advisor. The team also benefited from a rare week‑long practice break, which coaches said helped address defensive slippage and sharpen overall play.

The victory moved Indiana to a 12‑8 record, keeping them in contention for a playoff spot, while the Aces remained 15‑6 and will look to rebound in their next game.
