Stephanie White Reveals Encouraging Injury Update Amid Caitlin Clark's Absence
Stephanie White Reveals Encouraging Injury Update Amid Caitlin Clark's Absence originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever are off to a rough start in the 2025 WNBA season with a 2-4 record and three losses in a row. Caitlin Clark has missed the last two games due to a left quadriceps strain and won't return until she's fully recovered. The original timeline was at least two weeks, but it's only been one week so far. Advertisement While the Fever need others to step up in Clark's absence, two more players were injured in Friday's loss to the Connecticut Sun: Sydney Colson and Sophie Cunningham. Colson, who started at point guard in Clark's place, suffered a left leg injury in the first quarter. Cunningham, meanwhile, re-aggravated the right ankle that kept her out of the first two games of the season in the fourth quarter. Fans were concerned after neither player returned. But on Sunday, head coach Stephanie White shared an update on both players, saying they are "day-to-day," and "we got good news." "I think we got good news from both of their MRIs, as good of news as you can get," White said. 'And so right now, it's a day-to-day thing. We're looking forward to hopefully them returning at some point sooner rather than later, but at the same time, it's how each of them progresses in their rehab.'

Colson did get some shots up afterward, and Dantas was given a rest day. Advertisement Fever president Kelly Krauskopf told the media on Sunday that the team has looked into adding a player to the roster before Tuesday's game against the Washington Mystics, given the recent injuries. 'We're down in numbers," Krauskopf said. "But we're looking at adding another player for a replacement player. Help us with our numbers and try to get people healthy and try to get a full roster back together. I mean, game are still coming, so it's going to be an adjustment. But we have a good group. We have good depth. Thankfully, that should help us."

Indiana Fever Get Good News After Sophie Cunningham Video Emerges
Indiana Fever Get Good News After Sophie Cunningham Video Emerges originally appeared on Athlon Sports. At this point, the Indiana Fever will take any good health news that they can get. It was only a week ago that the team found out that star guard Caitlin Clark would miss two weeks because of an injury to her left quad, and in the time that has elapsed since, things have only further unraveled for the team. Advertisement There were losses to the Mystics and Sun, two winless teams. There was the ill-advised decision to give Sydney Colson not only a starting role, but 30-plus minutes. Then there were more injuries, with Colson suffering a right leg injury and Sophie Cunningham going down with an ankle injury. The Fever were, according to reporter Scott Agness of "The Fieldhouse Files," limited to seven players in practice on Sunday.

While Clark remains out for at least another week, injuries to Colson and Cunningham were not all that bad. 'I think we got good news from both of their MRIs, as good of news as you can get,' White said, via the Indy Star. 'And so right now, it's a day-to-day thing. We're looking forward to hopefully them returning at some point sooner rather than later, but at the same time, it's how each of them progresses in their rehab.'

The Fever play the Mystics at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Tuesday, and while there's no sure timeline on whether Cunningham or Colson will be back by then, it's at least a possibility that has not yet been ruled out. At 2-4, and with three straight losses on the docket, the Fever are badly in need of a win. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 2, 2025, where it first appeared.
