Hold onto your seats, WNBA fans, because the Indiana Fever are not playing around this offseason. In a move that further cements their status as a force to be reckoned with, the Fever have signed free agent forward Brianna Turner, a two-time WNBA All-Defensive team selection. This acquisition adds even more firepower to a roster that already boasts five All-Stars and the league’s last two Rookies of the Year in guard Caitlin Clark and forward Aliyah Boston. Buckle up, because the Fever are coming in hot.
Stacking the Deck: Indiana’s All-In Approach
The Fever’s front office has made it crystal clear that they mean business. By bringing in battle-tested veterans like Natasha Howard and DeWanna Bonner, both multi-time champions and All-Stars, Indiana is leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of a title. The addition of Turner only strengthens their case as a legitimate contender.
Brianna Turner: A Defensive Dynamo
Don’t let Turner’s modest stats from last season fool you. This 6-foot-3 shot-blocking specialist has proven herself as one of the league’s premier defenders, earning All-Defensive honors in 2020 and 2021. Her length, athleticism, and basketball IQ make her a nightmare for opposing offenses.
“I am ecstatic to join the Fever organization and compete for a championship. I was drawn to the team’s commitment to investing in women and providing the best professional atmosphere for success.”

A Fever Dream Team in the Making
Picture this: a starting lineup featuring Caitlin Clark, the electrifying guard fresh off a historic rookie campaign, alongside Aliyah Boston, the reigning Rookie of the Year and double-double machine. Mix in the championship pedigree of Natasha Howard and DeWanna Bonner, and the defensive prowess of Brianna Turner, and you’ve got a squad that can go toe-to-toe with anyone in the league.
- Caitlin Clark: The young phenom who took the league by storm
- Aliyah Boston: An imposing presence in the paint with a knack for dominating the glass
- Natasha Howard: A three-time champion and two-time All-Star who knows what it takes to win
- DeWanna Bonner: A scoring machine and six-time All-Star with championship experience
- Brianna Turner: A defensive anchor capable of shutting down the opposition’s best players
The Fever’s Time to Shine
After enduring a seven-year playoff drought, the Fever broke through last season, only to be swept in the first round by the Connecticut Sun. But with the moves they’ve made this offseason, Indiana is poised to not just make the playoffs, but to make some serious noise once they get there.
The rest of the WNBA better take notice, because the Indiana Fever are coming. And they’re not just looking to compete – they’re looking to take over. With a roster loaded with talent, experience, and hunger, the Fever have all the ingredients to cook up something special this season.
So buckle up, basketball fans. The Indiana Fever are on a mission, and they’ve got the squad to make it happen. Don’t be surprised if you see them hoisting the trophy when all is said and done.
