The defending WNBA champion Indiana Fever spotted the San Antonio Silver Stars an early 10-0 lead in the season opener for both teams, but the Fever outscored the home team 45-29 in the second half to roll to a 79-64 victory. Indiana got 19 points from Tamika Catchings (6'1''-SF-79, college: Tennessee) and Shavonte Zellous (5'10''-G-86, college: Pittsburgh), and 18 from Katie Douglas (6'1''-G/F-79, college: Purdue) as Indiana won its opener with just nine active players. Ironically, it was with just nine active players that the Fever also upset Minnesota last October, in Games 3 and 4 of the WNBA Finals, for the league title. The veteran Fever methodically climbed back into the game, trailing 19-14 at the end of the first quarter and taking its first lead just before halftime. The Fever outscored the Silver Stars 46-19 inside the lane, buoyed by the inside presence of Erlana Larkins (6'1''-F-86, college: N.Carolina) who contributed eight points and a regular-season career-high 12 rebounds. After shooting 5-of-16 in the opening quarter, Indiana responded to shoot 55 percent (27-of-49) the rest of the game. The Fever led by as many as 20 points, 75-55, in the final moments. San Antonio's Shenise Johnson (5'11''-G-90, college: Miami, FL) came off the bench to pace the Silver Stars with 14 points. Shameka Christon (6'1''-G/F-82, agency: Josep and Nicolas, college: Arkansas) added 10 while Danielle Robinson had four points and nine assists. Courtesy of: oursportscentral.com
Rookie forward Jasmine Hassell (6'2''-F-91, college: Georgia) has been re-signed by the Fever as a replacement player for Friday's season-opening game against the San Antonio Silver Stars. Hassell was the Fever's second-round draft pick (21st overall), but waived in camp Wednesday [read more]
Rookie forward Jasmine Hassell (6'2''-F-91, college: Georgia) has been re-signed by the Fever as a replacement player for Friday's season-opening game against the San Antonio Silver Stars. Hassell was the Fever's second-round draft pick (21st overall), but waived in camp Wednesday. Due to Indiana missing three players to injury and a fourth, rookie first-rounder Layshia Clarendon (5'9''-G-91, college: California), attending college graduation, the Fever was granted the replacement player to enable nine active players. She averaged 3.0 points and 10.5 minutes per game through two preseason games, both also against San Antonio. Hassell will be in uniform when the Fever and Silver Stars meet for the third time in two weeks. Courtesy of: oursportscentral.com
