The Indiana Fever enhance their roster with Natasha Howard and strategic signings, aiming for a championship resurgence.

The Indiana Fever have made significant strides in the offseason, aiming for a championship run. The addition of Natasha Howard, a two-time WNBA All-Star and the 2019 Defensive Player of the Year, is a pivotal move for the team. Howard joins a roster featuring superstar Caitlin Clark, shooting guard Kelsey Mitchell, and forward Aliyah Boston, both of whom were recently named the league`s rookies of the year. Mitchell has also secured a new contract, ensuring her presence on the team as they pursue success.

In a strategic move, the Fever have welcomed back former star Stephanie White as head coach. White, who was named the 2023 Coach of the Year with Connecticut, brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the team. Alongside Howard, the Fever have also acquired sharpshooting guard Sophie Cunningham from Phoenix and signed veteran DaWanna Bonner, a two-time WNBA champion and six-time All-Star, adding crucial championship experience to the roster.

Meanwhile, the WNBA landscape is shifting with notable trades, including the Los Angeles Sparks acquiring Kelsey Plum from the Las Vegas Aces. The Aces, in turn, received Jewell Loyd from the Seattle Storm, making this trade a significant event involving multiple former No. 1 draft picks. The Sparks also gained valuable draft picks, including the No. 9 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft.

The Fever, who faced a challenging previous season with a 5-31 record, are looking to turn their fortunes around. As they prepare for the upcoming season, rumors swirl around top collegiate players like Paige Bueckers and Olivia Miles, who are contemplating staying in college for another year due to lucrative NIL deals. This offseason has been busy, with several key players receiving core qualifying offers, including Kelsey Mitchell, Breanna Stewart, and Gabby Williams.
