Indiana Fever Make Decision on Potential Sophie Cunningham Replacement on Saturday

The Fever were not able to make this move before the game, as Cunningham had to miss at least one game before they would be eligible to add another player to the roster.

Nonetheless, it didn’t take long for Indiana to make the move, potentially finding Cunningham's replacement for the rest of the season—or at least for the next handful of games until Caitlin Clark can potentially return to the court.

Powers started her career with the Dallas Wings back in 2016 after being drafted No. 5 overall. Just a few years later, in 2019, she was part of the Washington Mystics team that captured a WNBA Championship, contributing 7.6 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.

Since then, the former Michigan State star has spent three seasons with the Lynx, one season with the Atlanta Dream, and most recently played for the Golden State Valkyries, the WNBA's newest expansion team.

Over the course of her career, she’s remained a very formidable player, giving hope that she can provide consistent production for the Fever. She’s averaging 10.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists across her nine years in the league and will wear No. 23 for Indiana, likely making her debut on Sunday.
