Despite an 89-73 road loss to the Connecticut Sun, the Indiana Fever franchise have plenty to celebrate! Here are a few highlights from the Indiana Fever family over the last 24 hours.
A family affair
Fever All-Star Candice Dupree missed Sunday’s game to attend to wife DeWanna Bonner who gave birth to twins. In Dupree’s absence, her sister-in-law, Erica McCall got the start. The Fever posted from the moment McCall found out her sister was in labor.

The twin babies are the first children of Dupree and wife DeWanna Bonner of the Phoenix Mercury. It’s safe to say the twins will be introduced to basketball at an early age. The Summitt staff extends congratulations and well wishes to the growing family.
2,000 and counting
On Sunday, Marissa Coleman reached 2,000 points in the first half of Sunday’s game against Connecticut. She reached the milestone on the same court she tallied her first professional points as a member of the Washington Mystics.
