Interview with Shey Peddy of the Indiana Fever Discussing Maintaining Readiness and Time Spent in Phoenix
Shey Peddy Makes a Comeback with the Indiana Fever
Shey Peddy, the versatile guard, has joined the Indiana Fever after a tumultuous few years in her basketball career. Peddy, drafted 23rd overall by the Chicago Sky in the 2012 WNBA Draft, has had a rollercoaster ride in the league, but her resilience and determination have kept her going.
Peddy's first WNBA stint was with the Washington Mystics in 2019. She then moved to the Phoenix Mercury, where she spent four seasons and was a key contributor to their WNBA Finals run in 2021. Peddy's time with the Mercury was marked by a memorable play in WNBA Playoff history in 2020.
However, Peddy's career took a significant turn in the 2022 WNBA Playoffs when she tore her right Achilles tendon. The injury sidelined her for a year, but Peddy reflects on her past three years after tearing her Achilles, stating it was a lot of rehab and a mental process to stay strong.
Peddy made a miraculous return in June 2023 and appeared in 18 games for the Phoenix Mercury that season. Afterwards, she signed with Dynamo Kursk at the beginning of the 2022/23 season.
Peddy's journey with the Fever began due to injuries to Colson, Cunningham, and McDonald, and the uncertain return of Clark. She joined the team through a hardship contract. The Fever team has been resilient all season and welcomed Peddy and other newcomers with open arms.
Peddy is now learning and adjusting to Stephanie White's system with the Fever. She has made a strong start, scoring a combined 26 points and making six three-pointers in her first two games with the team.
Peddy's story serves as an inspiration to young players, encouraging them to believe in themselves and keep going, even in the face of adversity. She continues to inspire players on seven-day or hardship contracts to stay in the moment and keep pushing.
Caitlin Clark will miss the remainder of the WNBA season for the Fever. With Peddy's arrival, the team hopes to maintain their resilience and continue their successful season. Peddy, for her part, hopes to continue playing in the WNBA beyond the current season.
Peddy's time with the Connecticut Sun was brief, as she was waived after camp in 2024. However, her career has been marked by resilience, determination, and a never-say-die attitude. As she continues her journey with the Fever, Peddy is poised to make a significant impact on the team and inspire others with her story.
