The Indiana Fever are preparing to play yet another game with Caitlin Clark on the sideline.

Indiana will match up against the Washington Mystics on Friday, just after being upset by the Dallas Wings and defeating the Chicago Sky.

Clark has played 13 games this season, so the rotations for head coach Stephanie White have varied based on opponent.

The Fever have also dealt with other injuries that have hurt their chances to compete in the postseason. Sydney Colson went down with a torn ACL while Aari McDonald is sidelined with a broken foot.

As the Fever look to revamp their team, they made an announcement about their recent addition.

On Thursday, the Indiana Fever signed Kyra Lambert to a seven-day contract.

"Welcome to Indy, Kyra," posted the official social media account of the Indiana Fever.

Kyra Lambert played three seasons for the Duke Blue Devils and one season with the Texas Longhorns at the collegiate level. After finishing her college career in 2021, Lambert moved on to the professional atmosphere in Europe.

She has played her entire professional career overseas, spending time with the following programs: France (Toulouse), Latvia (TTT Riga), New Zealand (Whai), Slovakia (Slavia Banska Bystrica) and Turkey (Karsiyaka).

Lambert will look to help the Indiana Fever backcourt as White works through various changes with Clark, Colson and McDonald out of the lineup.

While Colson and McDonald suffered season-ending injuries, there's hope for Clark to make her return this season.

Lambert may not be able to replace the contributions of Clark, but she'll look to make an impact at the guard position.

The Fever host the Mystics at 7:30 p.m. ET Friday on Ion.
