The Indiana Fever have added another guard amid their injury crisis.<\/p>\n
Not long after signing Odyssey Sims, the Fever have also signed Kyra Lambert.<\/p>\n
Lambert has never played in the WNBA, but she was signed on Thursday to a seven-day contract. The Fever have the open roster spot following season-ending injuries to Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald.<\/p>\n
Indiana remains without Caitlin Clark due to a nagging groin injury, as well.<\/p>\n
Lambert played collegiately at Duke and Texas, but she never got a chance in the W.<\/p>\n
Instead, the talented guard went to Europe.<\/p>\n
Lambert most recently suited up for Olympiacos in Greece, and they were league champions together.<\/p>\n
In the championship season, Lambert averaged 15.4 points and 6.3 assists per game en route to being named the Eurocup’s Guard of the Year.<\/p>\n
Lambert also knocked down 42.1% of her 3-pointers in that strong season, a number that bodes extremely well for her chances of contributing in Indiana.<\/p>\n
She has also played in France, with Toulouse, in Latvia, with TTT Riga, in New Zealand, with Whai, in Slovakia, with Slavia Banska Bystrica, and in Turkey, with Karsiyaka.<\/p>\n
It feels a bit like a well-earned reward for a lifetime of basketball travel to finally get to come and play in the WNBA.<\/p>\n
Lambert grew up in Cibolo, Texas. She was born in Guam.<\/p>\n
Now, she’s in Indiana. The Fever next play at home on Friday at 7:30 p.m. against the Washington Mystics, and Lambert will be on the court for the first time in the WNBA.<\/p>\n
