Nowhere was that more evident than on July 3, when the Fever demolished A’ja Wilson’s Las Vegas Aces at home. McDonald ran the offense flawlessly, dropping eight points with seven assists and seven rebounds in the 81-54 victory. She finished with a game-high plus-26.

The New York Liberty handed the Fever their worst defeat of the season, routing Indiana 98-77, who played without star Caitlin Clark.

In its latest injury report update, the Indiana Fever have officially ruled Caitlin Clark out against the New York Liberty on Wednesday night.

With less than a minute remaining in the contest and the game virtually already won for Indiana, Clark was seen grabbing onto the inside of her right leg. She left the game immediately and was unable to return. The 23-year-old was also seen on the bench on the brink of tears as she covered her head with a towel.

Caitlin Clark remains the center of attention ahead of the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, though she won't play due to injury.
