Indiana Fever Star Receives Big Injury Update From Christie Sides

The Indiana Fever will face the Chicago Sky in a WNBA Eastern Conference clash on Sunday at 4 p.m. ET on ESPN. The Fever will look to win their fifth straight game, while the Sky will look to win their second in a row.

The Fever, led by their trio of Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell, are one of the hottest teams in the WNBA right now. They have won six of their last eight games and have done so without one of their key players: forward Temi Fagbenle.

Fagbenle will miss her 10th game of the season on Sunday due to a left foot injury sustained on May 28. Prior to the Fever-Sky game, Indiana coach Christie Sides gave a big injury update regarding their star.

“She’s ready to go, she’s been getting workouts in. We haven’t practiced in this last week, but she’s been involved with what we’ve been able to do," Sides said. (via ClutchPoints beat reporter Matthew Byrne)

Fagbenle was drafted in 2016 out of USC. She is in her first season with the Fever after taking a five-year hiatus from the WNBA. In eight games this season, she is averaging 9.1 points and 5.6 rebounds.
