Indiana Fever Make Point Guard Decision on Saturday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Sophie Cunningham and the Indiana Fever had some bad luck in the final game of their West Coast road trip. Not only did they lose by 35 points to the Phoenix Mercury, but they also lost two key players for the year.

With superstar Caitlin Clark out indefinitely due to a groin injury, Indiana had turned to veteran backup Sydney Colson and midseason pickup Aari McDonald to run the point. They accrued a 9-9 record without Clark, winning the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup along the way.

The Indiana Fever have signed veteran point guard Odyssey Sims to a hardship contract, the team announced Sunday. The Fever became eligible for a hardship exception after Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald went down with season-ending injuries in a defeat to the Phoenix Mercury on Aug.
