The Indiana Fever are preparing for a matchup against the Chicago Sky after recent news that Caitlin Clark would miss the remainder of the WNBA season.

Indiana has been monitoring the health of Clark for much of the second half of the season, as she's missed ample time in her second season in the league.

The Fever have also been dealt several other season-ending injuries, such as the loss of Sophie Cunningham, Aari McDonald, Sydney Colson and Chloe Bibby.

As Stephanie White looks to have the Fever competing through all of the setbacks, Indiana has been forced to use short-term contracts in order to stay afloat.

The Fever recently signed Bree Hall, whom played with Indiana in the preseason.

After the announcement, South Carolina women's basketball head coach Dawn Staley reacted to the news on Hall.

"Yeah yeah yeah Bree Hall," Staley said. "Push them over the playoff line!! Let's goooo."

Bree Hall is currently playing in her first season in the WNBA.

Hall made the move to the WNBA after playing four seasons with Dawn Staley at South Carolina. Throughout her career at South Carolina, Hall posted 5.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game.

The Fever rookie helped lead Staley's team to two national titles during her time with the Gamecocks.

Bree Hall will be available for the Indiana Fever for the final three games of the season including matchups against the Chicago Sky, Washington Mystics and Minnesota Lynx ahead of the playoffs.
