From day one, Stephanie White knew exactly what the Indiana Fever needed to take Caitlin Clark & Co. to the top. Playoff experience! And she has been on a mission to bring just that. While the Las Vegas Aces just let go of another piece of their back-to-back championship run after Kelsey Plum, the Fever wasted no time adding another battle-tested veteran to their squad: Sydney Colson.
With Indiana already re-signing Kelsey Mitchell, trading for Sophie Cunningham, and landing Natasha Howard and DeWanna Bonner many already see them as serious contenders. But there was still one missing piece. A strong backup point guard. And now they’ve got one.
ESPN’s Alexa Philippou broke the news on X, revealing that Colson has signed a one-year deal with Indiana, per her agent. After spending three years in Vegas and winning two rings, she’s heading to the Fever to add veteran leadership and defensive grit to this rising squad.
Now, honestly speaking, her stats won’t blow anyone away (she averaged 2.5 points in 31 games last season), but the 35-year-old brings much more than numbers.

She’s a reliable three-point shooter (37.8% last season), a tough defender, and, most importantly, a 10-year vet who’s played for five different teams. That experience is priceless.
And now with these moves, Indiana isn’t just aiming for a playoff spot, they’re gearing up for a deep run. With their young core, surrounded by seasoned pros, the Fever might just be the team to watch next season.
