It has been a bad few days for the Indiana Fever, who have been hit by injuries early in the 2025 season. After losing Caitlin Clark for at least a couple of weeks, the Fever suffered two massive blows within minutes when Sophie Cunningham and Sydney Colson went down with injuries during the Connecticut Sun game.

However, the team received a boost ahead of Tuesday's clash against the Washington Mystics. Indiana coach Stephanie White spoke to the press on Sunday and provided an encouraging update about Cunningham and Colson's injuries.

"I think we got good news from both of their MRIs, you know as good as you can get," White said. "So right now, it's a day-to-day thing. We are looking forward to them returning at some point sooner rather than later.

Sydney Colson spent a good portion of her practice session on the stationary bike. White said Colson has been progressing well and even practiced her shots later.

Colson, the backup point guard for the Fever, went down in the first quarter against the Sun on Friday. She exited the game with a lower left leg injury.

Sophie Cunningham went down with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter. She seemed to have injured the same right ankle that had kept her out for multiple games since hurting it on May 10 in a preseason game against the Atlanta Dream.

With only eight healthy players on the roster, the Fever are eligible to sign players on emergency hardship contracts. Coach White confirmed that the team would consider all options.

Caitlin Clark Injury Update: Fever star expected to miss more time with injury

On May 26, the Indiana Fever announced that Caitlin Clark had suffered a quad injury and would be out for at least two weeks. However, new reports suggest that Clark could be out for a significant period. According to sports injury expert David J. Chao, Clark's left quadriceps strain could keep her out of action for a month.

"Two weeks is more along a re-evaluation timeline and we expect her to be out closer to a month," Chao said in a video posted by SIC.
