INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Fever have made another roster cut.
The Fever announced Wednesday that they have waived Yvonne Ejim, the No. 33 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. Ejim, a forward, came to Indiana out of Gonzaga, where she was the two-time West Coast Conference Player of the Year.
Ejim played in both of the Fever’s preseason games, mostly in garbage time. She recorded one assist in five minutes against the Mystics, then six points on 3-of-5 shooting in 12 minutes against the Brazilian National Team on Sunday.
This cut brings the Fever’s roster to 12, the league maximum for the regular season. The Fever will still have to make one more cut, though, because of salary cap limitations.
The final cut will likely be between Jaelyn Brown, who is on a training camp contract, and 2025 No. 19 pick Makayla Timpson.
Timpson, a forward, played ample minutes with the starters and in the rotation on Sunday. She scored nine points in nine minutes against the Brazilian National Team, going 2-of-4 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line. She showed her skill in staying poised on the court and being able to draw fouls, along with being an elite rim runner.
Brown, a 26-year-old guard, came to Indiana from Dallas in a trade. She already has a year of experience in the WNBA, but spent half of it with a broken nose and an illness that hampered her season with Dallas in 2024. Brown played 15 minutes against the Brazilian National Team, but that was mostly against backups and in garbage time. She scored two points on 1-of-6 shooting, but was strong defensively with four steals.
Indiana will need to finalize its opening day roster by May 15.
