The Indiana Fever have signed veteran point guard Odyssey Sims to a hardship contract, the team announced Sunday. The Fever became eligible for a hardship exception after Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald went down with season-ending injuries in a defeat to the Phoenix Mercury on Aug.

The Indiana Fever are coming off a dominant 92-70 victory over the Chicago Sky on Saturday night to improve to 18-14 overall and win six of their last eight games— all without star point guard Caitlin Clark.

Odyssey Sims had just one day of practice with the Fever before Tuesday's game. But as a player who has done that before, she knows how to handle it.
