Sophie Cunningham of the Indiana Fever suffered a knee injury during a game but the team rallied behind Kelsey Mitchell, who scored 38 points to lead a historic comeback victory. Cunningham's injury could impact the Fever's playoff run, especially if she misses extended time, as she and star guard Caitlin Clark are both sidelined with injuries. Cunningham is set for an MRI to assess the damage.
The Indiana Fever are focused on building a championship-contending team around their star players Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston, with Kelsey Mitchell expected to join them as part of their "Big 3." Despite being a free agent, the Fever are likely to retain Mitchell by making her a core player, ensuring she receives a maximum salary. With Stephanie White returning as head coach, the team aims to strengthen their roster further, potentially adding another marquee player, to make a serious title push in 2025.
Indiana Fever's Aliyah Boston, the No. 1 pick, had a solid debut in the WNBA, nearly achieving a double-double with 15 points and nine rebounds in 25 minutes. Despite being a rookie, her teammate Kelsey Mitchell said Boston is not a rookie and is a player who will compete.
