Indiana news: January out for season (knee)

Knee problems have continued to plague the Indiana Fever this season. Shenise Johnson’s season ended early with an ACL tear, last week Tiffany Mitchell was ruled out for the remainder of the season with a bruised bone in her knee. Now the team has announced Briann January will miss the last two weeks of the year with a torn meniscus in her right knee.

Being down another guard, Indiana has signed Jennie Simms for the rest of the season. Simms played earlier this year with Washington.
