INDIANAPOLIS — The Fever had bad luck on the injury front on Friday.
Backup point guard Sydney Colson, who started in place of injured Caitlin Clark, went down with a left leg injury in the first quarter of Indiana's game Friday against the Sun.
Sophie Cunningham then went down in the fourth after making contact with Sun guard Marina Mabrey. Cunningham attempted to set a screen on Mabrey, then tried to reset, and the two made contact as Cunningham went down near the Sun bench.
She looked to be clutching her right leg while on the floor, near her ankle — the same one she injured in the preseason. Trainers rushed over, both checking her ankle and testing the mobility of her knee.
Cunningham was eventually helped off the floor, walking back to the locker room. She was able to put weight on her right leg, but had two trainers helping her.
She had encouragement from both Mabrey and her Fever teammates coming off the floor, and the Fever once again had to adjust. Indiana is now down to eight available players, with Clark out until at least June 9 and Colson ruled out for the game.
