BREAKING NEWS: INDIANA FEVER ANNOUNCES THIER HOME PRE….

INDIANAPOLIS – Due to the Pacers home playoff schedule for the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Fever preseason game originally scheduled for Friday, May 10, has been moved to Thursday, May 9, at 7 p.m. at Ee Fieldhouse. Tickets for Friday’s game will be valid for Thursday’s rescheduled date. The game will also be shown on the WNBA app.

INDIANAPOLIS – Pacers Sports & Entertainment and Eli Lilly and Company have announced an agreement to make the Indiana-based medicine company the newest jersey patch and health equity partner of the Indiana Fever. Lilly’s corporate logo will be displayed on the shoulder of each Fever jersey, and the companies will continue to collaborate to close gaps on health outcomes in Indianapolis and across the state.

“The excitement around the Fever and women’s basketball means more opportunities for the Fever and partners like Lilly to shine a light on important issues like support for girls in sports and the need for improving health in Indiana communities,” said Rick Fuson, PS&E’s Chief Executive Officer. “Lilly, like the game of basketball, is both distinctly Hoosier and truly global, and I am grateful to them for their ongoing partnership.”

The partnership comes at a time when the spotlight is on the Fever and women’s basketball more intensely than ever before. In early April, the team announced that 36 of its 40 regular season games will be broadcast on national television, and last week the team revealed that 17 games would be aired for free locally on WTHR and WALV.

“Improving health equity in our home state of Indiana is something the Fever and Lilly both care deeply about, and we are thrilled to partner with the Fever at this exciting moment in women’s sports,” said David A. Ricks, Lilly’s chair and CEO. “We know that great teams work hard to get better and achieve a common goal. Together with the Fever, we at Lilly look forward to bringing greater awareness and achieving better health outcomes for our fellow Hoosiers. That would be a win for everyone.”
