WNBA fans were surprised to see the names listed on the Indiana Fever's injury list on Friday's game against the Minnesota Lynx. Throughout the entire 2025 season, the team roster has struggled to stay entirely fit, and thus, they have missed out on games.

Ahead of the contest, Indiana has listed five players on the injury report, with three ruled out for the rest of the season. All-Star guard Caitlin Clark has been out due to a groin issue since July 15. Other injuries have limited her to 13 games this season.

Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald were the first players to be ruled out for the rest of the regular season. Colson suffered an ACL tear in her left knee on Aug. 7 and underwent surgery. McDonald suffered a fractured right foot on the same day.

"Did she do that at that golfing event?" one fan was curious to know.

Fever's Cunningham gets fined by the WNBA

Although Cunningham is injured, the Fever guard can't escape the WNBA punishment. In her podcast, "Show Me Something," the 29-year-old discussed how the referees tend to favour Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers. The league didn't like her comments and fined her for them.

She told her co-host, West Wilson, about the fine she received from the league.

"I’m officially 3-for-3 on being fined by the WNBA," Cunningham said (9:44). "They didn’t like my comments on Paige Bueckers."

She was fined by the WNBA for the first time after making fun of the officials in a TikTok post. Cunningham had to give up $500 for it. Following that, the Fever guard was fined $1,500 for criticizing the officiating in a previous podcast episode.
