After an abundance of additional injuries lately<\/a>, the Indiana Fever (19-17) have signed key veteran point guard Odyssey Sims to a third seven-day hardship deal on Sunday as the team’s depth is razor thin as they attempt to secure a spot in the 2025 WNBA Playoffs with just seven games remaining after tonight’s clash vs. the league-leading Minnesota Lynx (29-7)<\/a> from Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

As Sims is expected to play Sunday night<\/a> after suffering a right groin ailment on Friday, it will serve as her fifth overall game and most likely her third start with the Fever this season.<\/p>\n

In her four games played with Indiana so far, the 13-year veteran and former Baylor national champion has averaged 9.5 points on 41.4% shooting, 32.5% from 3-point territory, and 77.8% from the free throw line to go along with 3.7 assists, 2.6 rebounds, and 0.7 steals per game.<\/p>\n

While the team has yet to officially release a statement on the signing, Sims’ extended stay allows the team will have crucial depth at the guard position in order to remain competitive while Caitlin Clark makes progress<\/a> from her right groin injury, which is expected to extend to 15 consecutive games missed<\/a>.<\/p>\n
