The Indiana Fever’s 2025 WNBA season has been a dramatic journey, filled with moments of celebration and significant setbacks.
Under the leadership of head coach Stephanie White, the team has demonstrated remarkable grit and determination despite facing a string of unfortunate events that have left fans wondering if the franchise is experiencing a curse.

The season started on a high note for the Fever. In July, they captured their first-ever WNBA Commissioner’s Cup title, a landmark achievement in the team’s history.
This victory came after a nail-biting win against the Minnesota Lynx, with veteran Natasha Howard earning MVP honors for her outstanding performance. The win brought hope and optimism to the team and its supporters, signaling that the Fever were a force to be reckoned with in the league.
A season marked by injuries and challenges
However, the momentum quickly shifted as the team grappled with a series of injuries that severely impacted their lineup. Star guard Caitlin Clark, one of the team’s key players, has been sidelined for over a month due to a groin injury, with her return still uncertain.
The team’s backcourt has been hit particularly hard, as guards Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald both suffered serious leg injuries, ruling them out for the remainder of the season. To add to the misfortunes, Sophie Cunningham suffered a season-ending knee injury during a game against the Connecticut Sun, further depleting the Fever’s roster.
These injuries have not only affected the team’s performance on the court but also taken a toll on the morale of the players and fans alike. Social media has been abuzz with frustration, with many supporters describing the season as “cursed.”
One fan expressed their dismay, stating, “Fever’s injury luck in the backcourt this year has been a nightmare.” The string of setbacks has led to growing concerns about the team’s ability to maintain their playoff position and compete at a high level moving forward.
Despite these hurdles, the Fever have managed to stay competitive. Holding a 19-16 record, Indiana currently sits in sixth place in the standings, keeping their postseason hopes alive. The team and its fans remain hopeful that Caitlin Clark can recover in time to contribute during the final stretch of the regular season and into the playoffs.
Looking forward, the Fever face a challenging road ahead. Their resilience will be tested as they attempt to overcome the injury crisis and maintain their form. The unwavering support from their fanbase provides a vital source of encouragement, inspiring the team to push through adversity.
With key players potentially returning and a strong sense of determination, the Indiana Fever are poised to make a significant run in the postseason.
