Overview

  • Indiana announced the signing Saturday, and Powers could be available for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Lynx.
  • The Fever are shorthanded at guard with season-ending injuries to Aari McDonald, Sydney Colson and Sophie Cunningham, while Caitlin Clark has not played since July 15 with no announced timetable.
  • Indiana sits at 19-17 with eight regular-season games remaining, holding sixth place as it tries to secure a playoff berth.
  • Coach Stephanie White has turned to Odyssey Sims as a starter, with Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston taking on added ball-handling and facilitating duties.
  • Powers, a 10-year WNBA veteran with career averages of 10.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists, recently logged a brief stint with Golden State and previously played for Minnesota, as a resurfaced All-Star Weekend clip featuring her with Clark and Aliyah Boston gains traction on X.
