On August 7th, 2025, the Indiana Fever were coming off a tough 100-91 loss to the LA Sparks, but that didn't dampen their spirits. The team was in a celebratory mood as they gathered to mark the birthday of backup guard Sydney Colson.
Colson's teammates, the coaching staff, and even a surprise guest joined in the festivities, highlighting the close-knit nature of the Fever squad. Notably, Colson has formed a strong bond with fellow guard Sophie Cunningham, who recently joined the team after spending her first six seasons with the Phoenix Mercury.
The two players have become quite close, often engaging in hilarious back-and-forth exchanges on social media. Cunningham expressed her affection for Colson, describing her as "the weirdest, best person I know." Former WNBA player Theresa Plaisance echoed these sentiments, calling Colson "truly one of a kind."
Despite the loss to the Sparks, which snapped a season-high five-game winning streak, the Fever remain optimistic. With Colson and Cunningham's growing friendship and the team's overall camaraderie, the Fever are poised to build on their playoff appearance from last season.
