The Fever stands as the No. 3 team in the Eastern Conference standings and the No. 7 team in the WNBA standings. They hold a 5-5 record, having won three of their last four games.
As the Fever continue to gain momentum, they suffered a hit to their roster.
On Monday, DeWanna Bonner was ruled out of the team's next matchup against the Connecticut Sun due to "personal reasons," per Scott Agness.
Bonner will be missing her second straight game for the Fever after being ruled out against the New York Liberty.
The addition of DeWanna Bonner in the offseason has proven to be an incredible asset for Indiana. Bonner made the move to the Fever after spending some time with the Connecticut Sun, where she continued to establish herself as one of the best players in WNBA history.

Saints put WR Bub Means on injured reserve
Wide receiver Bub Means won't be returning to the Saints' active roster this season. Means hurt his ankle in the team's first preseason game and the team announced on Wednesday that he has been placed on injured reserve. They signed offensive lineman Mike Panasiuk to fill the open spot on their 90-man roster. Means was a 2024 fifth-round pick in New Orleans. He had nine catches for 118 yards and a touchdown in seven games during his rookie season. Cedrick Wilson and Mason Tipton were listed as second-stringers along with Means on the team's depth chart. Chris Olave, Brandin Cooks, and Rashid Shaheed are on the top rung. Panasiuk has spent time with the Panthers and Colts as well as in the UFL and XFL.

Cowboys, Micah Parsons no closer to contract extension as California training camp wraps up: ‘We might or might not talk'
Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys don't appear to be any closer to a new deal as the team's training camp wraps up in California this week. Parsons, who demanded a trade earlier in camp after months of unsuccessful contract extension talks with the Cowboys, declined to speak with reporters on Wednesday after the team's final padded practice in Oxnard, California. 'My mouth is closed,' he said, via The Athletic's Jon Machota. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Though owner Jerry Jones did actually speak with reporters regarding the issue, his answer wasn't much better. 'Nothing,' he said when asked what is stopping the Cowboys from negotiating with Parsons, via The Dallas Morning News' Joe Hoyt. 'We might or might not talk. The rest gets into what we do every day.' Parsons is entering the fifth-year option of his rookie contract, and he's set to make about $24 million this season. The 26-year-old has been a dominant force for the Cowboys in recent years, and he's easily proven himself to be one of the best defensive players throughout the league. He had 12 sacks and 43 total tackles last season while dealing with an ankle injury that limited him to 13 games. Despite that, the Cowboys and Parsons have been unable to reach a contract extension throughout the offseason. That led to Parsons' trade request, though Jones has said he has no intention of honoring it. Jones appeared to back that up on Wednesday, too, when asked if things would heat up now that the Cowboys are entering the second half of their training camp schedule back in Dallas and are closer to the start of the regular season. 'I don't know if necessarily talks will [pick up], but we've got a game coming, and he's under contract,' Jones said. Though Parsons has reported to every Cowboys practice in Southern California so far — he's not done too much, in part due to a back issue — and has avoided fines, it's clear that nothing has really changed on either side when it comes to his contract extension. The dispute is as public as ever, and it doesn't sound like that's going to change anytime soon. And Jones, at least outwardly, isn't pressed by some sort of deadline to get it done. "You don't have deadlines when you're playing under a contract," he said, via ESPN's Todd Archer. What happens between now and the Cowboys' season-opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4 is still anybody's guess.
