The Fever had previously signed Sims to a seven-day regular contract thrice before finally handing her the new deal, making the guard eligible to play in the playoffs.

The franchise has been plagued with injuries to key players like Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald, the last three of whom have been ruled out for the season.

Keeping Sims on a longer contract will undoubtedly help the Fever with much-needed cover in their campaign this season. Following the latest signing, the point guard received congratulatory messages from many friends and acquaintances, including Indiana teammate Colson, who also wished her well.
