Updated Aug 27, 11:10 PM CDTMichelle Onyiah remains a cleanup option

Onyiah, listed as Michelle in Indiana's current roster and box scores, entered Sunday's win only for the final 1:06 after the Fever had built a 21-point lead. She did not record a counting stat during that cameo, and it does not establish a regular competitive role. Onyiah has otherwise been a coach's-decision DNP since joining Indiana, with no reported injury behind the limited playing time. She remains a healthy depth center behind Aliyah Boston, Makayla Timpson and Indiana's veteran reserve bigs, making another DNP the most likely outcome Friday unless the game becomes lopsided.
