The team has had to play more than half of its games without star guard Caitlin Clark, guard Sophie Cunningham was named in a lawsuit involving Phoenix Suns and Mercury CEO Josh Bartelstein (she's since denied it's true), and it parted ways with six-time All-Star DeWanna Bonner in the most awkward and public way possible.

After two of the Indiana Fever's remaining point guards went down with season-ending injuries, the team must look for potential guards to fill the gap until Caitlin Clark returns.

“Love you guys,” Clark said. After the post was released, McDonald sent a message to Clark. “Love you too C,” McDonald said. McDonald has been playing through her first season with the Indiana Fever, averaging 9.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.
