Fever Clinch Playoff Berth Despite Injury-Ravaged Roster
10 Sep
Summary
- Indiana Fever clinch playoff spot with 5 key players out
- Caitlin Clark signals timeout for struggling Lynx in Fever's hot start
- Fever missing star players like Caitlin Clark, Sydney Colson, and more
As of September 10th, 2025, the Indiana Fever have pulled off an incredible feat by clinching a playoff berth despite having five players out for the remainder of the season due to injury, including star guard Caitlin Clark. Even with a decimated roster, the Fever have proven to be a force to be reckoned with, as the Minnesota Lynx found out on Tuesday.
The Fever got off to a blistering 10-0 start against the Lynx, prompting the injured Clark to jump up off the bench and hilariously signal a timeout for the struggling Lynx. Though the Lynx have since recovered and closed the double-digit deficit to single digits in the second half, the Fever's hot start and subsequent play are a testament to their resilience and formidable nature.
Aside from Clark, the Fever are also missing key players like Sydney Colson, Sophie Cunningham, Aari McDonald, and Chloe Bibby. In the cases of Bibby and McDonald, they were both signed as hardship players due to the Fever's extensive injury woes. Despite these setbacks, the Fever have continued to defy the odds and secure a playoff berth, showcasing the depth and determination of their roster.
