Indiana Fever Sign Aerial Powers to 7-Day Hardship Contract
The Indiana Fever have signed Aerial Powers to a seven-day hardship contract, adding depth to their wing rotation for the short term. The move leverages the league’s hardship provision, which allows teams to temporarily roster players when others are unavailable due to injuries or illnesses.
Powers, a veteran WNBA player with experience across several franchises, brings versatility on the perimeter and the potential to contribute scoring and defense as the Fever navigate a dynamic roster situation.
The seven-day deal gives Powers the opportunity to join the Fever during the current window, with the possibility of extension if both parties agree and roster needs permit.
What this means for the Fever: a temporary boost to wings and depth ahead of upcoming games, while the team continues to manage roster health and rotation options.
Summary: Indiana Fever add Aerial Powers on a seven-day hardship contract to bolster wing depth during a window of roster needs, offering a short-term boost and upside for the rotation.
Positive note: This move reflects proactive roster management and could provide a spark for the Fever as they push through the stretch run.
