The Fever defeated the Mystics on Tuesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Aari McDonald provided a defensive boost and helped get the Fever good shots.

The Fever won their first game since point guard Caitlin Clark was injured, getting a lift from emergency hardship signing Aari McDonald in a win over Washington.

Aari McDonald's standout performance on a hardship contract injected some much needed energy into the Indiana Fever's offense. But with Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham set to return soon, the Fever may face a tough roster decision on who stays.
