Overview

  • In the first quarter of Thursday’s loss at PHX Arena, veteran guard Sydney Colson suffered a non-contact left knee injury and was unable to bear weight as she was helped off the court
  • Aari McDonald exited later in the game with a right foot issue and limped back to the locker room under trainer supervision
  • Sophie Cunningham also experienced minor injury concerns, further eroding Indiana’s backcourt options
  • Caitlin Clark remains sidelined for a ninth straight game with no new timetable for her return, according to White’s pregame update
  • The depleted guard rotation contributed to a 95–60 defeat, forcing extended minutes for remaining veterans and complicating the Fever’s push toward the playoffs
