The injury-prone Temi Fagbenle seems to have contracted another fitness issue, dealing a considerable blow to Indiana Fever’s playoff chances. The WNBA athlete only joined forces with Indiana in January 2024 before making the cut for the final roster. However, her latest injury has sidelined Fagbenle once again, causing her to miss the Fever’s bout vs the Los Angeles Sparks.
Here are all the available details regarding Temi Fagbenle’s injury, including her estimated date of return.
What injury is Temi Fagbenle suffering from?
The 31-year-old forward is currently recovering from an issue in her right shoulder.
Temi Fagbenle originally picked up the injury during her side’s recent encounter with the Dallas Wings. She damaged her right shoulder during a putback against the Wings right before the halftime whistle went off. As a result, coach Christie Sides decided to rest the former Minnesota Lynx player in the Fever’s 93-86 victory vs the Sparks.
Despite having taken a four-year hiatus from the WNBA between 2020-2023, Temi Fagbenle still seems to be struggling with her injury problems. The knock in her right shoulder accounts for the third health issue in the last four months. A foot injury in May restricted Fagbenle from participating in June’s matchups, which was followed by a thumb injury in July. Consequently, the Maryland-born sportswoman ended up missing two games in August.
When will Temi Fagbenle return to play with the Indiana Fever?
Despite the jarring frequency of her physical issues, Temi Fagbenle’s latest injury appears to be a minor one. In fact, the 2017 WNBA champion is expected to return to action in Indiana’s next fixture.
Head coach Christie Sides confirmed the news of her injury. However, Sides’ statement also confirmed that Fagbenle’s absence was primarily due to precautionary reasons. As a result, the basketball veteran should be available for selection in the Fever’s upcoming clash against the Lynx.
