What happened: The Indiana Fever called on fans to vote Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston into the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago. The ballot push went out around the team's matchup with Atlanta, which the Dream won 108-101 in Indianapolis. The result snapped a four-game Fever winning streak.
Why it matters: All-Star selection would cement Indiana's young core as one of the league's marquee draws heading into the showcase. The loss also tightens a close Eastern picture, with the Fever at 11-6 and the Dream right behind at 10-5.
By the numbers: Indiana entered at 11-6, Atlanta at 10-5. The teams split the season series: Indiana won the first meeting 83-71 on June 4 before Atlanta answered with this 108-101 result. Kelsey Mitchell recently became the eighth player in WNBA history to reach 700 career three-pointers.
What to watch: All-Star voting continues toward the league deadline, with starters and reserves to be revealed later this summer. Indiana will look to rebound and defend its standing in a crowded East.
