It hasn\u2019t been an easy season for the Indiana Fever<\/strong> in the WNBA<\/strong> \u2014 especially from a physical standpoint. Due to various issues, the team has been without two of its biggest stars, Caitlin Clark<\/a><\/strong> and Sophie Cunningham<\/strong>, for large stretches of the campaign. Still, key moves by the front office have allowed head coach Stephanie White<\/strong> to keep her team in the playoff hunt with a roster that boasts real depth and talent.<\/p>\n

With uncertainty still surrounding Clark\u2019s return and the confirmed severity of Cunningham<\/a>\u2019s injury suffered weeks ago, a veteran presence will officially remain on the roster through the end of the season.<\/p>\n
