A Young Core With Big Expectations
The Indiana Fever head into the 2025 WNBA season with a finalized 12-player roster that signals a new era of growth, grit, and undeniable talent. Anchored by high-profile young stars and reinforced by experienced veterans, the Fever are positioned to compete with energy and depth across the board.
Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, returns for her sophomore season after a historic rookie campaign. Standing 6 feet tall, the dynamic guard brings elite playmaking, scoring range, and poise at just 23 years old. She shares the court with fellow 23-year-old Aliyah Boston, a 6-foot-5 forward-center whose rebounding and interior dominance make her one of the most impactful young players in the league. Together, they represent the foundation of Indiana’s long-term future.
Veteran Presence and Stability
The team’s veteran presence is led by 6-foot-4 guard-forward DeWanna Bonner, who enters her 16th season in the WNBA at age 37. Bonner brings a wealth of leadership, court vision, and a steady scoring touch. Sydney Colson, a 5-foot-8 guard in her 14th season, adds vocal energy and proven experience to the locker room and backcourt.
Indiana’s frontcourt experience continues with Damiris Dantas, a 6-foot-3 forward-center with 11 years in the league. Brianna Turner, standing 6-foot-3, offers defensive toughness and versatility. Natasha Howard also returns as a key contributor at forward. At 6-foot-2 with 11 seasons of experience, Howard plays a vital role in anchoring the defense and providing inside scoring.
Reliable Contributors and New Energy
The Fever’s backcourt rotation includes Sophie Cunningham, a 6-foot-1 guard entering her sixth season, and Lexie Hull, also 6-foot-1, who continues to develop in her third year. Kelsey Mitchell brings offensive consistency in her seventh season, offering leadership and scoring from the guard spot at 5-foot-8.
Rookie Makayla Timpson, a 6-foot-2 forward-center from Florida State, brings athleticism and fresh energy. As the only rookie on the roster, Timpson adds a new dimension to the frontcourt and could emerge as a key contributor with continued development.
The Road Ahead
With a carefully balanced mix of experienced veterans and emerging young stars, the Indiana Fever’s 2025 roster is designed for present competitiveness and future growth. The variety of height, skill sets, and levels of experience provides the team with the flexibility to adapt to any style of play. As the season tips off, Indiana aims to climb the standings and return to playoff form, showcasing a team that embodies resilience and potential.
