Fever`s Bold Moves Reshape WNBA Offseason

The 2025 WNBA offseason features major trades and signings, reshaping teams like the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky.

The 2025 WNBA offseason has been transformative, with teams making significant trades and free agency moves. The Indiana Fever, now led by coach Sophie White, have aggressively bolstered their roster by signing stars like DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard. They also secured Kelsey Mitchell on a one-year deal with a supermax salary of $249,244, aiming to address their previous weaknesses.

The Chicago Sky have not been idle either, adding experienced players such as Courtney Vandersloot and Rebecca Allen to complement their young talents, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso. With the No. 2 and No. 10 picks in the upcoming draft, the Sky are positioning themselves as strong contenders for the 2025 season.

In a notable three-team trade, the Las Vegas Aces acquired Jewell Loyd from the Seattle Storm, while the Los Angeles Sparks welcomed Kelsey Plum. The Seattle Storm gained the No. 2 pick in the 2025 draft, forward Li Yueru, along with a future first-round pick from Las Vegas. Los Angeles also received the 2025 No. 9 pick and a 2026 second-round pick from Seattle.

The Phoenix Mercury have strengthened their lineup by acquiring Alyssa Thomas from the Connecticut Sun and Satou Sabally through sign-and-trade agreements. However, they face challenges in building depth around their new stars, especially after Brittney Griner`s departure to the Atlanta Dream, marking a significant shift in the league`s landscape.

Breanna Stewart is expected to re-sign with the New York Liberty, having led them to their first championship last fall. Meanwhile, the Connecticut Sun are undergoing a transformation but still possess playoff potential with players like Marina Mabrey, Natasha Cloud, and Tina Charles. The 2025 WNBA season kicks off on May 16, featuring a highly anticipated opening game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky.
