New York Liberty vs. Indiana Fever: Starting Lineups and Depth Charts | 2024 WNBA Season (July 6)

New York Liberty injury reports for July 6

Indiana Fever injury reports for July 6
The Fever are close to full fitness, with long-term absentee Damiris Dantas rejoining the team after resolving her visa issues. The Brazilian will most definitely be the woman to watch in red and white.
Dantas posed a significant challenge for the opposition players in the last game against the Aces, despite playing for only four minutes. The former Minnesota Lynx 6-foot-3 forward will be crucial in this game.
Meanwhile, center Temi Fagbenle's availability remains questionable due to a lingering thumb injury.

New York Liberty vs. Indiana Fever: Game Preview
It's been two years since the Fever last beat the Liberty and that was just their fourth win in four years over the Liberty. This weekend, the odds are stacked against them breaking that duck too, with Liberty flying in first and the Fever struggling for consistency in eighth.
The fever's (8–13) form hasn't been the best of late, albeit not at a stage where a panic button is being pressed. The Indiana side struggled in their last 10 games, losing six, but it hasn't been the easiest run of fixtures, having faced the Connecticut Sun, Seattle Storm, Phoenix Mercury, and Las Vegas Aces.
This weekend’s match provides an opportunity for both to get their form back on track in their pursuit of their first playoff berth since 2016.
The visitors (17–3) will be desperate to maintain their unbeaten run over the fever. The Sandy Brondello side won all three matchups this season. A highlight was definitely the 66-102 win on 17 May, where Breanna Stewart scored 31 points.
