Fever share hilarious scenes from team's trip to Indiana State Fair
In one of the numerous social media posts shared by the Fever showcasing the activities Sophie Cunningham, Natasha Howard, Sydney Colson, and Kelsey Mitchell endured during the trip, the group gave their honest opinions on popular food items. All four players tried items such as a dill pickle corn dog, a regular corn dog, a Hot Cheetos corn dog, corn on the cob, funnel cake, and deep-fried Oreos.
After sampling and reviewing the various culinary concoctions, the group headed to the petting zoo, where they were swarmed by numerous baby goats seeking food from the Fever stars.
One of the highlights of the animal encounter was a hungry goat nibbling on Colson's shorts in an attempt to get some of the feed.
The team also shared a feature specifically focused on Kelsey Mitchell's experiences at the State Fair as she followed along with the rest of the three Fever stars. Michell was seen tasting the food and taking a spin on some of the rides, which ultimately tired out the seventh-year guard.
In the Fever closed out their fun day at the Indiana State Fair by sharing behind-the-scenes footage of the numerous moments that didn't make the final cut in their previous videos and a few pictures of all four experiencing the festival's activities.
The 2025 Indiana State Fair began on Friday, August 1, and runs until Sunday, August 17, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center in Indianapolis.
While the team had a blast during their day at the Indiana State Fair, they will need to collectively refocus on making a strong, late-season push towards the 2025 WNBA Playoffs by racking up wins as the regular season winds down.

Sophie Cunningham left screaming in pain with knee injury in potential Fever nightmare: ‘Holy s–t'
The injury-riddled Fever, battling for a playoff spot, may have lost another key player to injury. Popular forward Sophie Cunningham was taken to the locker room with a knee injury after a collision on Sunday during a 99-93 road win against the Sun. 3 Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham (8) is injured on a play with Connecticut Sun guard Bria Hartley (14) in the first half at Mohegan Sun Arena. David Butler II-Imagn Images Advertisement 3 Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham (8) on the court injured as they take on the Connecticut Sun in the first half at Mohegan Sun Arena. David Butler II-Imagn Images Cunningham, a key part of the Fever, especially with Caitlin Clark out due to a groin injury, was standing under the basket playing defense when driving Sun guard Bria Hartley fell into her lower left leg after making a pass. Cunningham, who could be seen yelling in pain, had to be helped to her feet and was later ruled out. As soon as Hartley made contact with Cunningham's lower right leg, the Fever standout immediately grabbed it and fell to the court. Advertisement Fever head coach Stephanie White didn't have any update on Cunningham but said that her reaction after seeing the injury was 'holy s–t.' 'Especially the way that she fell and how she was holding herself and how much pain she was in, at the time it's like, 'crap,'' she told reporters. Advertisement Cunningham had been assessed with a technical foul earlier in Sunday's game during a tie-up with Leila Lacan. Clark has been out for a month with a groin injury and the Fever are battling for their playoff lives, sitting in seventh place at 19-16 after winning the Commissioner's Cup earlier this season. 3 David Butler II-Imagn Images Indiana will also be without Sydney Colson (torn ACL) and Aari McDonald (broken foot) for the rest of the season. Advertisement Cunningham has made headlines lately off the court by being critical of WNBA officials, particularly when it came to how they called a game for Wings rookie Paige Bueckers. Cunningham's sister, Lindsey, took to social media on Sunday to express her displeasure with the officials after the injury, which could leave the Fever without another integral player.

Sophie Cunningham leaves Fever's overtime win over Sun with a knee injury
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Connecticut Sun with a knee injury, marking the latest injury to a Fever squad that has already been decimated. The injury occurred during the second quarter of Indiana's 99-93 overtime victory when Connecticut guard Bria Hartley drove to the basket, fell and collided with Cunningham's leg on her way down. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Cunningham stayed down clutching her right knee in pain as the rest of the team went to the other side of the court. She was helped off the court and into the locker room, wearing a towel over her head. After Cunningham went down, the Fever battled back to win. Despite Connecticut being up by as many as 21 points, Indiana forced OT after a stellar 32-point fourth quarter. Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell finished with 38 points, tying a season high; 34 of those points came after halftime. After the game, Cunningham did not comment on the injury, but praised Mitchell for her stellar performance on X. Cunningham's sister, Lindsey, took to X after the game to point blame at the officials for the injury. "@WNBA maybe you should focus less on fining players for commenting on your poor officiating & more about hiring officials that are able to call a consistent game and protect your athletes," she wrote, with Sophie Cunningham reposting her sister's message. Cunningham has been fined twice by the league for complaints about officiating. Cunningham's injury is the latest for the Fever, who have lost most of their guards due to injury. Caitlin Clark has missed most of the season with a groin injury, while the other two point guards — Aari McDonald and veteran Sydney Colson — both suffered season-ending injuries in a loss to the Phoenix Mercury earlier this month. Colson went down with an ACL tear, while McDonald suffered a broken bone in her foot. Last week, the Fever signed veteran guard Odyssey Sims to a hardship contract to help replenish their point guard depth. Sims made her first start for Indiana on Sunday.

Watch Stephanie White's emotional locker room speech after Fever complete largest comeback in team history
If you thought you were wound up watching the Indiana Fever come back from 20+ points down to win in overtime Sunday, imagine what coach Stephanie White felt. She was almost overcome while speaking to the team in the locker room after their 99-93 win over the Connecticut Sun. Kelsey Mitchell matched her career high with 38 points — the most by any WNBA player in a game this season — as the Fever played a familiar roller-coaster of a game. They trailed by 21 points early in the third quarter and never led in regulation after they led 4-3. However, they never trailed in overtime. "I'm so proud of you guys. Sometimes it sounds like a (expletive) word when we talk about being resilient, but it's not, man. It's how we live," White said. "It's a tribute to you. It's a tribute to your connectedness, your togetherness, your toughness, your mindset, your never (expletive) give up gritty attitudes. That's what it takes. "We will never be counted out because that is worth (expletive) gold." She praised Mitchell — "You put us on your back big-time. You are the consummate professional. We love you, we appreciate you." — and also singled out Aliyah Boston, Lexie Hull, Brianna Turner and Natasha Howard. She reminded the players that's what it will take the rest of the season. "We gotta play. We gotta play with no pressure, but we (expletive) fight," White said. "Live that resilience, every (expletive) day, and we will accomplish what we want to accomplish." The Fever (19-16) were tied for sixth in the WNBA standings with Golden State, which played later Sunday. Eight teams make the playoffs.
