Thursday's game also marked the return of NaLyssa Smith to Indianapolis following her offseason trade from the Fever. The former No. 2 overall pick, who spent the first three years of her career in Indiana, was traded to the Dallas Wings in February as part of the Sophie Cunningham deal.

Fresh off their championship win in the Commissioner's Cup, the Indiana Fever head home to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to host the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday.
