The Fever will be especially lacking in depth when they take on the Sky at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday. Indiana will have just nine players available for the game after guards Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald suffered season-ending injuries during the Fever's 90–65 loss to the Mercury on Thursday. Colson suffered a torn ACL and McDonald broke a bone in her foot.
This puts the Fever without Colson, McDonald and Caitlin Clark, who has missed 18 games this season due to quad and groin injuries. Currently, league rules allow for a maximum of 12 players to be on a roster. WNBA hardship rules allow for a team to add extra players to the roster when they fall below 10 active on the roster, but the Fever will not be able to sign another player until after their game against the Sky, per Alexa Philippou of ESPN.
