What happened: Sophie Cunningham has returned to the court for the Indiana Fever after being listed as questionable. She received clearance to play despite dealing with pregame back spasms.

Why it matters: Getting Cunningham back provides crucial floor spacing and perimeter depth for Indiana. Maintaining a full backcourt rotation limits the strain on the rest of the roster.

What to watch: Her minute distribution will indicate if the stiffness limits her stamina moving forward.
