The Indiana Fever is gearing up for an exciting 2025 WNBA season, set to kick off on May 17, following a successful preseason where they won all three of their games. This included an impressive victory against the Brazilian National Team, with a score of 108-44, showcasing the team’s potential and skill.
In preparation for the season, the Fever made some tough roster decisions, cutting multiple players, including two of their 2025 draft picks: Bree Hall (No. 20) and Yvonne Ejim (No. 33). Currently, the roster consists of 11 players, just one shy of the WNBA maximum of 12.
To strengthen their lineup, the Fever made significant offseason moves, including acquiring DeWanna Bonner, the fourth all-time scorer in WNBA history, alongside the dynamic Sophie Cunningham. These signings aim to provide the necessary veteran experience after the team’s first-round exit in the 2024 playoffs.
With Caitlin Clark entering her second year in the league, the Fever has attracted considerable national attention, including a feature on the cover of Sports Illustrated, which highlights Clark along with fellow stars Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston, and Bonner. The Fever’s management understands the importance of surrounding their generational talent with the right support.
In addition to roster adjustments, the Fever is committed to improving their infrastructure with plans to build a new state-of-the-art practice facility valued at $78 million. This dedication to development is echoed in their new Head Coach, Stephanie White, who is part of a revamped coaching staff aimed at steering the team toward a successful season.
The Fever’s mindset this season is clear, encapsulated in their mantra: “We’re not here to chase greatness. We’re here to claim it.” With an energized roster and heightened expectations, the team is looking to make a deep playoff run, paving the way for a promising future for the franchise.
As the season approaches, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how the Fever will rise to the challenge and fulfill the promise they have shown during the preseason.
