The Fever were able to come away with a preseason win over one of the favorites to win the WNBA Finals despite missing several players due to injury. This included Boston, who suffered a lower leg injury in February while playing in the Unrivaled league, though her absence was considered precautionary by Indiana. Other players who missed the preseason opener included Lexie Hull (hamstring), Ty Harris (knee) and Damiris Dantas (not with team).
