The 2025 WNBA season is almost here, and the Indiana Fever are poised to be one of the teams to watch. Not only because of Caitlin Clark being in her sophomore year after an impressive rookie season, but also because they have brought experienced talent to surround her. Including two-time champion Sydney Colson, who has shared her perspective on the Clark phenomenon.
“It was nuts,” Colson said about Clark’s impact on the league and Indianapolis as she was introduced by the team. “There’s no other way to say it. It was nuts. I think you’re seeing a team that’s now affecting the economy in the city. You got people coming from out of town, out of state, out of the country, maybe even, to see games. And so that’s special.”
After that, a reporter mentioned to her that she has been studying the economics of Clark’s effect. “Yeah, man, I try to pay attention,” Colson replied with a laugh. “But it has been cool to see. Caitlin’s a remarkable player and she’s going to be good here for a long time.”
However, the point guard isn’t intimidated by the attention Indiana is receiving. “I’m going from a team that was very immersed in media, people were excited to watch us, to another that is arguably the most talked-about team in sports right now,” Colson told reporters. “It’s exciting to be a part of a team that has a lot of positive energy around it.”

The point guard signed with the Fever for a one-year deal for $90,000 on Feb. 6 and she is expected to play behind Clark, who averaged 35.4 minutes per game in her rookie season. Meanwhile, Colson, 35, averaged 8.0 minutes per game on the Aces last season.

The Indiana Fever’s revamped roster
Colson is only one of the many new additions to the Fever’s roster for the 2025 season. She joins three-time champion Natasha Howard and two-time champion DeWanna Bonner. Sophie Cunningham has also signed with the Fever.
However, not only the roster looks different. The Fever’s front office also had a major change: Kelly Krauskopf took over as president, Amber Cox was appointed general manager, and Stephanie White left Connecticut to become the head coach.
