Story summary

Indiana Fever guard Ty Harris will miss the remainder of the 2026 WNBA season after breaking a bone in her lower left leg during the third quarter of Indiana's regular-season finale against Minnesota on Thursday. The team announced this news on Saturday, just before they were set to start their playoff series against Las Vegas Sunday. Last year, the Aces eliminated injury-depleted Indiana in the semifinals despite needing overtime to win the final game of the series. Harris had been averaging 4.1 points, 2.0 assists, and 1.1 rebounds this season. Her absence leaves a significant gap for the Fever as they enter the playoffs without one of their key players.
