The Valkyries will host the Indiana Fever on the second night of a back-to-back at Chase Center on Sunday. The Valkyries are 2-0 in the regular season series against the Fever and have won both games by double digits. Fever All-Star guard Caitlin Clark played in each of the first two meetings, but her status is in question for Sunday's matchup as she hasn't played since July 15 and is dealing with both a groin and ankle injury. That said, Clark did participate in a recent shootaround and went through non-contact drills for the first time since the initial injury, which is a sign of progress.

The first 10,000 fans in attendance at Sunday's game will receive a Valkyries bucket hat, presented by Coinbase.
