Colson was injured during a game against the Phoenix Mercury at PHX Arena. She left the court after just a minute and didn't return and was diagnosed with an ACL tear. Having underwent surgery earlier this week, Colson will rehab and prepare for the upcoming season.

The guard’s injury wasn’t the last for the Fever. After her setback, Aari McDonald suffered a broken foot, while Sophie Cunningham was added to the injury list with an MCL tear.

Caitlin Clark once shared her thoughts on Sydney Colson, praising her as a teammate

Sydney Colson joined the Indiana Fever in February, signing a one-year $90,000 contract. The franchise signed her for her vast experience in the WNBA, and the guard has quickly endeared herself among her teammates.

In July, Caitlin Clark shared her thoughts on these qualities while praising Colson as a teammate.

Ad
"She has great balance, when things can get fun loose, making jokes and keeping everything light, but also she's won before. She knows what it takes to win," Clark expressed. "No matter if she plays 20 minutes, starts, or doesn’t get any minutes, she’s the same person and she's just a really good soul."

Under Colson’s leadership, the Fever have continued to develop as a team, capturing the Commissioner’s Cup despite their inconsistencies during the season.
