Indiana advanced after losing five players to season-ending injuries, including Caitlin Clark.
Las Vegas is led by A’ja Wilson, who was just named Co-Defensive Player of the Year.
The Fever won two of the three regular-season matchups against the Aces.
With five players lost to season-ending injuries – including star guard Caitlin Clark – the Indiana Fever continue their improbable journey in the WNBA playoffs on Sunday as they travel to face the Las Vegas Aces in the opening game of their semifinal series.
The No. 6-seeded Fever needed to win back-to-back games against the Atlanta Dream to get through the first round, but they managed to do it – capping things off with a stunning 87-85 win in Atlanta on Thursday.
The No. 2 seed Aces defeated the Seattle Storm 74-73 on Thursday, behind a dominant 38-point performance from A’ja Wilson, the newly minted Co-Defensive Player of the Year.
‘The job’s not done, it’s just first round and we have to get ready for the next one,’ Wilson said.
While the series might look like a mismatch on paper, the Fever won two of their three regular-season meetings.
