The Indiana Fever signed former Los Angeles Sparks' guard Shey Peddy to a rest-of-season deal on Tuesday, per Scott Agness. Peddy will be available for Indiana's final regular-season contest against Minnesota, as well as the entirety of the Fever's 2025 postseason run.

The news comes exactly a week since Peddy was re-signed to a third seven-day hardship contract on Sept. 2. Before Tuesday's new deal, she was initially available for just three of Indiana's final four regular-season games.

Prior to her time in Indiana, the Sparks announced the signing of Peddy, a veteran guard, in mid-June to a hardship contract.

The 5-foot-7 guard averaged six points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists per contest across her first 116 WNBA games spanning five seasons.

She started five of six games while in L.A. this summer, and was an essential piece to a then-injured Sparks lineup.

Peddy's contributions in Indiana continue to provide a boost to its active rotation, without Caitlin Clark for the remainder of this season.

In a social media message last week, Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark announced that she won't return to game action in 2025 due to a season-ending injury.

Clark's announcement came after the star guard suffered an injury nearly two months ago — and was absent for all of the Fever's matchups this season against the Los Angeles Sparks.

The Sparks are currently battling with the Seattle Storm for the final WNBA playoff spot. Now in must-win mode, L.A. travels to Phoenix on Tuesday for its penultimate regular-season contest.
