CHICAGO (AP) -- Caitlin Clark scored 37 points, Kelsey Mitchell added 30 and the Indiana Fever pulled away from the Chicago Sky for a 113-90 victory on Sunday night.
Clark made a career-high eight of Indiana’s franchise record 18 3-pointers. She also had 10 assists.
The Fever closed out a 3-2 trip with their third game in four nights. They had dropped two in a row.
Natasha Cloud had 16 points and seven assists for Chicago, which had won three in a row. Azura Stevens added 14 points and eight rebounds. The Sky were eliminated from the playoff race with the loss and a win by Washington on Sunday night.
Indiana played without center Aliyah Boston, who was sidelined by a right leg injury. Boston had 22 points and six assists in Saturday’s 109-102 loss at New York.
KANTER TOSSED
Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from Sunday night’s Indiana-Chicago WNBA game after Sky guard Natasha Cloud yelled and pointed in his direction late in the third quarter.
Freedom was sitting along the baseline. He had on a black shirt that read “WOMAN noun. adult human female.”
The Fever called for a timeout after Cloud scored inside with 1:22 left in the third. Cloud then went to confront Kanter, who held his arms and took one step on the court. Security and a handful of Sky players stepped in between the two before the dispute escalated.
Freedom then was escorted from the court area. He displayed his shirt as he walked toward the lobby. He had a conversation with a group of police officers before departing Wintrust Arena.
Freedom and Royce White, another former NBA player, declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft this month, saying they identify as women.
