Indiana Fever Make Final Lineup Decision After Caitlin Clark Injury

Chloe Peterson of the Indianapolis Star spoke with White about the lineup changes, and the coach provided this insight:

"Yeah, we are going to start Syd at the point tomorrow and give that a look. Sophie's gonna get a heavy dose of it as well. The other thing we love is what Sophie and or Lexi, whichever one brings us from the bench and having that spark, having that punch, so we are going to look at Syd in that starting lineup to start."Syd

Sydney Colson has logged just 23 minutes across four games this season and didn’t play in the recent home loss to the New York Liberty. In limited action, the veteran is averaging 1.3 points per game.

Colson was drafted in the second round of the 2011 WNBA Draft by the Connecticut Sun and was immediately traded to the New York Liberty. She spent the last three seasons with the Las Vegas Aces and won an NCAA championship with Texas A&M in 2011.

The other bench options White mentioned include Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull. Cunningham has appeared in just two games due to an ankle injury but is averaging 7 points per game.

Hull, who has made one start, is averaging 26.3 minutes, 10 points and 3.5 rebounds per game this season.

Clark’s absence is a big challenge for Indiana’s offense. She is averaging 19.0 points, 9.3 assists and 6.0 rebounds per game 35 minutes.

The Fever return home Friday. They’ll host the Mystics again on June 3 before heading to Chicago to face the Sky on June 7.
