The season ended in an unfortunate outcome for the Indiana Fever fans. And just like that, a season cut short with injuries to Caitlin Clark and others saw Sydney Colson for one last time. Though the Fever’s struggle had Colson take a humorous dig at Indiana’s injury report, she did leave the roster teary-eyed.
However, when the WNBA veteran signed off for the season at Indianapolis camp, her social media post had her teammates giving her a goodbye shoutout.
Sydney Colson Gets Shoutout From Caitlin Clark And Fever Teammates
Recently, Colson touched hearts with a deeply personal, season-ending message that resonated throughout the Indiana Fever locker room and beyond. As she dealt with the disappointment of this season, Fever stars, including Clark, rallied around her with heartfelt comments.
“What a season! Genuinely enjoyed this team and what we did on the court & in the showers! I knew in the offseason that God was placing me where I needed to be to grow & learn some necessary lessons & that’s exactly what happened. And at the end of the day, I earned one more championship and one more ACL so life is good,” Colson captioned her post.
