Indiana Fever Bids Emotional Farewell to Veteran Point Guard Shey Peddy..
Indiana Fever are saying a heartfelt goodbye to veteran point guard Shey Peddy, whose brief but impactful stint provided stability amid an injury-ravaged year The 36-year-old journeyman joined the Fever in August on a seven-day hardship contract after a wave of backcourt injuries, including season-ending setbacks to Sophie Cunningham, Aari McDonald, and others. What started as temporary relief evolved into a rest-of-season deal, with Peddy appearing in nine regular-season games and contributing during the playoffs.
Known for her defensive tenacity, leadership, and “steady Betty” reliability, Peddy averaged 5.2 points, 1.7 assists, and shot an impressive 52.8% from the field and 50% from three in limited minutes. Off the court, her locker-room presence proved invaluable for a young Fever squad navigating turmoil.
In an emotional Instagram post following the season’s end, Peddy reflected: “Joining a team late isn’t easy, but from the moment I stepped in, it felt like I was meant to be here.” Teammates flooded her comments with love – Aliyah Boston called her “an amazing basketball player ❤️ the bestttt,” while Natasha Howard declared, “Yeah that’s my Shey ❤️❤️❤️.”
Now an unrestricted free agent, Peddy’s future remains uncertain as she has openly contemplated retirement. The Fever organization and fans alike express deep gratitude for the veteran’s resilience and heart, marking the end of a memorable chapter in Indianapolis
