WNBA Player on Temporary Leave Receives Message From Indiana Fever originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Indiana Fever are looking to continue their success after winning back-to-back games without Caitlin Clark.

Indiana’s star guard is out of the lineup for their next matchup, set to miss her third straight game and eighth game of the season.

During the Fever’s first season with head coach Stephanie White, Clark has been plagued with injuries.

Indiana has also dealt with the departure of Damiris Dantas, who left the team for an overseas commitment, playing in the 2025 FIBA Women’s EuroBasket with the Brazilian National Team.

While the Fever were going about the season, Dantas was making history overseas.

Dantas became the second all-time leading scorer in AmeriCupW. At this point in her career with Team Brazil, Dantas had scored 401 points.

“HISTORY MADE,” posted the AmeriCupW social media account. “🇧🇷✨Damiris Dantas is now the 2nd all-time leading scorer in #AmeriCupW.”

The Fever then took to social media to react to the historic news on Dantas.

“TOO TOUGH DD,” the Indiana Fever responded.
