The Indiana Fever's playoff hopes suffered a setback on Saturday as veteran backup guard Ty Harris broke her left fibula during the regular-season finale against the Minnesota Lynx. Harris suffered the injury in the third quarter while attempting a layup and collapsed to the floor, requiring team officials to carry her to the locker room.
The seventh-year guard appeared in 39 games, starting four and averaging 4.1 points per game. The Fever will likely rely heavily on All-Star guards Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark for backcourt minutes, but losing Harris, who has 211 career appearances, is a significant blow, especially in a challenging series against the defending champion Las Vegas Aces.
Rookie Raven Johnson, who also appeared in 39 games, may become the first true guard option off the bench for the Fever. The best-of-three series between the Aces and Fever starts on Sunday in Las Vegas.
