Caitlin Clark welcomes new Indiana Fever teammates

The Indiana Fever made some big moves during the offseason. They have a new head coach in Stephanie White, Amber Cox is now the General Manager, and the team brought in two former WNBA champions to help the Fever.

Indiana brought in three-time WNBA champion Natasha Howard and two-time WNBA champion DeWanna Bonner. Howard is a two-time All-Star and a former Defensive Player of the Year. As for Bonner, she’s a six-time All-Star and a three-time Sixth Player of the Year. Looking at their accolades, the Fever has brought in some elite company this offseason.

Caitlin Clark gave her honest thoughts on her team’s new look after being relatively quiet throughout the offseason. Clark acknowledged her new teammates and knew what they could bring to the table. The 2024 Rookie of the Year also commended the Fever’s front office for prioritizing acquiring pieces that they needed to become a better team.

“They know what it takes to win, they know what it takes to get to the Finals, they know what it takes to win championships,” Clark said, referring to the newcomers. “I think it’s exactly what we needed in our locker room. But also they’re not just really good basketball players, they’re great leaders and great people and I know the front office prioritized that.”

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever secured the sixth seed last season. They were knocked out by the Connecticut Sun in the first round of the 2024 WNBA Playoffs. With two star-studded veterans now in their roster, the Fever will look to redeem themselves this coming 2025 season.
