The Indiana Fever revamp their roster with DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard, aiming for WNBA success in 2025.

The Indiana Fever are making waves in the WNBA offseason, aggressively reshaping their roster for a championship run in the 2025 season. After a promising postseason appearance led by Caitlin Clark, the Fever were eliminated by the Connecticut Sun, prompting a strategic overhaul by the front office, spearheaded by Kelly Krauskopf and Amber Cox.

Key acquisitions include the re-signing of Kelsey Mitchell and the addition of six-time All-Star DeWanna Bonner, who brings both defensive strength and scoring ability to the team. Bonner`s experience, coupled with Natasha Howard`s skill set, is expected to address the Fever`s weaknesses in wing depth and defense, as identified by new head coach Sophie White.

In a significant four-team trade, the Fever also acquired Sophie Cunningham and Jaelyn Brown, while sending NaLyssa Smith and the No. 8 pick to other teams. This strategic maneuvering positions the Fever as a formidable contender in the upcoming season. The revamped roster, featuring Clark and Mitchell at the forefront, is set to face off against the Chicago Sky in a highly anticipated season opener, marking a clash of two teams that have undergone substantial offseason changes.

The Sky, now under the leadership of new coach Tyler Marsh, have also made notable additions, including former New York Liberty star Courtney Vandersloot, and hold two valuable draft picks. The offseason has been rife with activity across the league, highlighted by a historic three-team trade involving Jewell Loyd moving to the Las Vegas Aces and Kelsey Plum heading to the Los Angeles Sparks.

As the Fever gear up for the 2025 season, the excitement surrounding their roster changes and the competitive landscape of the WNBA continues to build.
