The Indiana Fever have been on a run as of late, as they won six of their last seven games heading into their Wednesday night contest against the Los Angeles Sparks. They were dealt a troubling injury update on Tuesday, though, when crucial rotation component Temi Fagbenle was labeled as questionable for the encounter owing to a right shoulder issue.
Fagbenle has become a crucial player off the bench for the Fever this season, so losing her, even for a game, would be a tough blow for the squad. And regrettably, it appears as if they are going to have to adapt on the fly, because Fagbenle has been ruled out for Indiana’s game against Los Angeles.
The good news for Fagbenle and the Fever is that it doesn’t look like her injury is significant, but clearly, the team would rather she be on the floor as much as possible. Staying on the court has been a struggle for Fagbenle this season, but as long as she can suit up for the postseason, that’s all that will matter for the Fever.
For the time being, though, they will have to figure out how to get by without the veteran center, and it will be intriguing to watch if the Sparks offer them any trouble in this game.
