Brianna Turner Joins Caitlin Clark and the Fever in Indiana’s Big Offseason Move
The Indiana Fever are making headlines once again, this time by adding defensive standout Brianna Turner to their growing roster. According to the WNBA transactions page, Turner and the Fever have reportedly agreed to a deal, setting the stage for her arrival in the 2025 season.
Turner, 28, most recently played with the Chicago Sky in 2024 but is best known for her time with the Phoenix Mercury, where she spent five seasons (2019-2023) establishing herself as a dominant force on defense. The 6’3″ forward made an immediate impact in the WNBA, proving to be a formidable shot-blocker and a relentless rebounder. Twice in her career, she has averaged at least nine rebounds per game, and she once recorded an impressive two blocks per game.
Her transition to the Sky in 2024 saw her role shift significantly. After being a consistent starter in Phoenix, Turner was primarily used off the bench in Chicago, starting just two of her 27 games and averaging only nine minutes per contest. Now, as she joins a rising Fever squad, Turner will be eager to reclaim a larger role and showcase her defensive skills.
A Fever Team on the Rise
Turner’s signing is just one of several key moves Indiana has made this offseason. The Fever have been aggressively building a championship-caliber roster, adding seasoned veterans like DeWanna Bonner, Natasha Howard, and Sydney Colson. They also pulled off trades to acquire Sophie Cunningham and Jaelyn Brown, while securing a core contract for star guard Kelsey Mitchell.
With Caitlin Clark set to make her highly anticipated WNBA debut and a stacked lineup taking shape, the Fever are looking to make a serious playoff push in 2025. Turner’s defensive prowess and rebounding ability could be exactly what Indiana needs to bolster its frontcourt depth.
As the Fever continue their transformation, all eyes will be on how this new-look squad gels on the court. With an infusion of talent and a renewed sense of energy, Indiana is shaping up to be one of the most exciting teams to watch next season.
