Indiana Fever add 2-time WNBA champ Sydney Colson to roster led by Caitlin Clark

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Fever signed free agent guard Sydney Colson on Thursday, adding yet another WNBA champion to play behind All-Star point guard Caitlin Clark. “Sydney is a proven veteran in our league and throughout her career, delivered for her teams in many big moments,” general manager Amber Cox said in a statement. Indiana already has signed free agent forwards Natasha Howard and DaWanna Bonner, who both have championship rings, and traded for shooting guard Sophie Cunningham, who spent the past six seasons with title-contending Phoenix. They’ll join a Fever nucleus led by three returning All-Stars — Clark and forward Aliyah Boston, the last two WNBA Rookies of the Year, and shooting guard Kelsey Mitchell — from a team that ended a seven-year playoff drought last season before exiting in the first round of the playoffs.
