"Fever signing Chennedy Carter now??" - WNBA fans abuzz as Caitlin Clark's team waives point guard despite Sydney Colson & Aari McDonald sidelined

WNBA fans reacted to the latest roster move by Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever. The Fever had signed Kyra Lambert on Aug. 14 to a regular hardship contract. However, just four days later, the team released Lambert, even before her seven-day contract came to an end.

With Clark, Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald already out, fans were left confused about the move. A fan predicted a big announcement from the Fever regarding their roster.

"Kyra Lambert being released means another signing, Caitlin coming back, or hopefully Sophie is ok," the fan wrote.

Honestly the fever would be a fun exhibition of her skills right now.

Others were convinced that the move meant Caitlin Clark was coming back.

@UnderdogWNBA Caitlin must be coming back sooner than expected. They were only going to be allowed to keep either Odyssey or Kyra, not both.

A fan mocked the team for wasting money on Lambert.

Does Kyra Lambert's release signal Caitlin Clark's return?

Kyra Lambert didn't play out her entire seven-day contract with the Indiana Fever, fueling speculation that her release might signal Caitlin Clark's return.

The Fever signed Odyssey Sims to a regular hardship contract after Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald were ruled out for the season with an ACL tear and broken foot, respectively.

According to IndyStar reporter Chloe Peterson, Odyssey Sims was not guaranteed to be released when Clark returned. However, the signing of Lambert then meant that either she or Sims would have to be released once Clark returned from injury.

Earlier this month, Fever coach Stephanie White said Clark could return by the end of August and could start full-court practice by the end of this week. The Fever's next game is on Aug. 23.
