Former Indiana Fever Player Makes Off-Court Move

Sydney Colson served as a guest speaker at the USA Basketball Women in the Game conference earlier this month. The former Indiana Fever guard shared her career journey during the conference.

The 11-year veteran last played in the 2025 WNBA season, averaging 2.4 points and 2.0 assists with the Fever. She played alongside superstar Caitlin Clark, appearing in 30 games and starting six. Colson provided veteran leadership in the locker room, bringing experience to a young team.

Colson, a two-time WNBA Commissioner’s Cup winner and two-time WNBA champion, sat out the 2026 season while recovering from a torn left ACL. The 5-foot-8 guard suffered the injury in August 2025, which cut her Fever campaign short.

The former Texas A&M standout was selected for this year’s Women in the Game conference. It was held at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion on Oct. 4.

Colson shared some highlights from her guest-speaking appearance at the conference on her Instagram page.

“Shoutout to @essentiawater and @usabasketball for inviting me to present at the Women In The Game conference!” she wrote in the caption.

The USA Basketball Women in the Game initiative aims to educate young women about potential career paths in the sports industry. The initiative invites guest speakers from various sports business fields to share their career journeys.

The USA Basketball Foundation supports conference attendance through scholarships and registration grants for women interested in careers in sports.

Colson is currently a free agent, and the 37-year-old could pursue a WNBA return ahead of the 2027 season.
