Former Aces Veteran Opens Up About Joining the Indiana Fever
The Indiana Fever are heading into the 2025 WNBA season with a newfound sense of anticipation and pressure. After a red-hot finish to the 2024 season, the Fever fought their way into the WNBA Playoffs and are looking to build on that momentum with high hopes for the upcoming year. With an infusion of veteran talent during the offseason, the Fever have reloaded their roster, ready to take the next step toward championship contention.
Among the seasoned players joining the team is Sydney Colson, a two-time WNBA champion with the Las Vegas Aces. While Colson may not be a high-volume scorer like some of the team’s other key acquisitions—such as Natasha Howard, DeWanna Bonner, and Sophie Cunningham—her experience and leadership make her an invaluable addition to the Fever. Colson brings a wealth of knowledge and a winning pedigree, having been part of one of the most successful teams in recent years.
Though her role on the Fever might not involve filling the stat sheet, Colson is more than confident in the impact she can make. “I know what I bring to the table,” Colson said. “It’s not always about scoring or having big numbers. Sometimes, it’s about knowing your role, bringing energy, and helping elevate those around you.” This mentality aligns perfectly with the Fever’s vision for the season—building a team that thrives on chemistry, hard work, and a collective effort to reach their full potential.
With a core group featuring rising stars like Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, and Aliyah Boston, the Fever have the pieces in place to be a serious contender. Colson’s leadership and championship experience could be the missing piece that pushes the team over the edge. As the Fever look to meet the high expectations placed on them this season, Colson’s steady presence could prove to be a game-changer, both on and off the court.
As the 2025 season unfolds, the Fever are primed for something special, and Sydney Colson’s journey with the team will be one to watch. The blend of youth and experience could lead to a breakthrough year for the franchise, with Colson playing a crucial role in their pursuit of success.
