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.

Indiana Fever have signed veteran guard Odyssey Sims to a hardship contract following the season-ending injuries to Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald.

With superstar Caitlin Clark out indefinitely due to a groin injury, Indiana had turned to veteran backup Sydney Colson and midseason pickup Aari McDonald to run the point. They accrued a 9-9 record without Clark, winning the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup along the way.
