Indiana Fever Endure Multiple Season-Ending Injuries Amid Playoff Push

The Indiana Fever have faced a challenging 2025 season plagued by numerous injuries, leading to a revolving door of hardship signings to maintain their roster depth. Notably, guard Sophie Cunningham suffered a season-ending MCL tear, joining other key players like Chloe Bibby, Sydney Colson, and Aari McDonald out for the season, complicating the Fever's playoff aspirations. Cunningham remains optimistic about her recovery, projecting a return around January or February 2026, ahead of the next WNBA season, which offers hope for the team's future. The Fever continue to hold the #8 seed in the playoffs despite these setbacks, with fans and the coaching staff hopeful for the eventual return of both Cunningham and star Caitlin Clark. Bree Hall, a rookie familiar with the Fever's system, was recently re-signed on a hardship waiver to provide much-needed depth amid ongoing injuries. Head coach Stephanie White and the team remain committed to overcoming these challenges, emphasizing Cunningham's leadership and the potential for a strong comeback next season.
