Fever really are in a shitty situation trying to figure out who to protect for their 6th. If they even let them protect 6 players. With two expansion teams, they could make it lessAlthough McDonald's future with Fever is still up for debate, it’s clear that she has become a valued and admired figure in Indianapolis.
