The veteran guard earned the contract with consecutive 20-point outings that stabilized Indiana’s injury-hit rotation.

Overview

  • Indiana announced Sunday that Sims has been signed for the rest of the season after a run of short-term contracts.
  • In seven games with the Fever, Sims is averaging 11.4 points and delivered back-to-back 22- and 21-point efforts in wins over the Storm and Sparks.
  • The backcourt has been thinned by season-ending injuries to Aari McDonald, Sophie Cunningham and Sydney Colson, while Caitlin Clark remains out with a groin issue.
  • Fan reaction focused on what the move might mean for Clark’s return, though reporting indicates the signing does not preclude her from coming back this season.
  • Indiana is 21-18 in sixth place and would face the Dream if the playoffs began today, with Sims set for a key role until Clark is cleared.
