One of the biggest stories in the WNBA has been the Indiana Fever’s moves in free agency. It was no secret that they managed to land some of the league’s biggest stars. There was a crazy narrative going around that no one wanted to play with Caitlin Clark in Indiana—but that was completely false! The Fever secured none other than Natasha Howard, DiJonai Carrington, Sophie Cunningham, and Jordin Canada, all of whom eagerly chose to join the team.
This is incredible because, despite all the doubters and negative talk online, the Fever front office put together what might be the best free agency of the offseason. No question about it! Other teams made big moves—Phoenix had a solid free agency—but nothing compares to what the Fever just pulled off. They strengthened every part of the team—frontcourt, backcourt, defense—covering all aspects of the game.
A few hours ago, the Indiana Fever took to social media to make it official. Let’s check it out. Their post read: **“Indiana Fever made MOVES in free agency”**, complete with a fire emoji—because they’re letting the league know that it’s about to go down this season!
Now, some people might be wondering why Kelsey Mitchell was included in the announcement. Let’s not forget—she was a free agent! She had the option to leave and start fresh elsewhere, but she chose to stay. That speaks volumes about what’s being built in Indiana. She sees the vision, just like I do, and just like every Fever fan does. A championship is coming—it’s only a matter of time!
This post is a bold statement from the Fever to the entire WNBA. Just look at their roster: Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson, Brianna Turner, Jordin Canada. Their *bench* could be a starting five for any team in the league! What General Manager Lin Dunn and Head Coach Christie Sides have done is *legendary*. No other WNBA team handled free agency like this. They didn’t just make a few good signings—they brought in championship-caliber players.
Of course, some people have mixed feelings about trading away Katie Lou Samuelson, NaLyssa Smith, and giving up the No. 8 pick. But regardless of personal opinions, what this front office accomplished is nothing short of *remarkable*. It deserves to be talked about every day because nobody expected Indiana to pull this off.
Even I didn’t see some of these moves coming! When they landed DiJonai Carrington—*nobody* saw that coming. Then they turned around and added Brianna Turner. Then they practically stole Sydney Colson from Las Vegas! It was all strategic, and they played their cards perfectly.
Back in January, everyone was wondering if the Fever were even going to make any moves. Then—boom!—NaLyssa Smith was traded, and suddenly, *everyone* wanted to join Indiana. It was a *wild* sequence of events. And now? The Fever have put the entire league on notice.
Fans are hyped! One person commented, *“This team is built for a title in 2025—great job putting together the roster!”* Another said, *“One of the best offseasons I’ve seen in any sport!”* And honestly? I agree 100%.
This wasn’t just a roster shake-up—this was a *statement*. It reminds me of when Coach Prime overhauled Colorado’s football team, but Indiana didn’t just bring in solid role players. They brought in *winners*.
This will go down as one of the best free agency periods in WNBA history—especially if they win a championship. Some people are calling them a *superteam*, but I don’t think so. This is just *great* roster-building. And the crazy part? They still have an open roster spot and some cap space left. Are they saving it for the draft? Maybe.
There’s been talk about Indiana possibly taking Hailey Van Lith at No. 19, but I’m not sure she’s the right fit alongside Caitlin Clark. Personally, I’d rather see them go after someone like Lucy Olsen. But at the end of the day, anything could happen.
One more thing—I want to highlight an incredible video the Fever posted in honor of Women’s History Month. It featured players reflecting on the growth of women’s sports and the pioneers who paved the way. Caitlin Clark and her teammates spoke about how women’s basketball is expanding rapidly, with increased media coverage, higher attendance, and growing fan engagement. It’s an exciting time to be part of the WNBA, and Indiana is at the center of it all.
