She tangled feet with Seattle guard Flau'jae Johnson and landed hard on her right knee, immediately clutching the area in pain.
Team trainers evaluated her on the court before helping her walk to the locker room with a towel over her head.
The Fever listed her as questionable to return at halftime due to a right lower leg issue.
Before exiting, Boston recorded 11 points, two rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 10 minutes.
She entered the game averaging 17.3 points and 8.5 rebounds per game for Indiana, which sits fifth in the league at 17-10.
Monique Billings and Makayla Timpson split time at center in her absence. Billings contributed 12 points and six rebounds in nearly 16 first-half minutes.

I think AB's gonna be OK, too."
Boston has dealt with a recurring right lower leg injury since February, originally sustained during Unrivaled play.
She missed three games this season, including her first career regular-season absence on May 17.
