The Fever in turn signed guard Shey Peddy to a seven-day hardship contract and released guard Kyra Lambert. Indiana currently sits sixth in the league with a 19-16 record. They'll try to hold onto that positioning in order to make the playoffs, which begin next month.

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham will miss the remainder of the season due to the right knee injury she sustained in Sunday's game against the Connecticut Sun, the team announced. Cunningham tore her MCL, per the Indianapolis Star's Chloe Peterson, and the organization said it expects her to make a full recovery.

The nature of the incident and Cunningham's pained look in the aftermath sparked immediate fears that the sharpshooting guard had suffered a serious injury, something Indiana knows all too well this season. She was scheduled for an MRI on Monday, and on Tuesday afternoon, the Fever confirmed fans' worst fears.
