Indianapolis, IN – Caitlin Clark has voiced her support for the Indiana Fever’s efforts to revamp their roster, expressing excitement about the team’s potential following key offseason acquisitions13. The Fever have welcomed seasoned players such as six-time All-Star DeWanna Bonner and two-time All-Star Natasha Howard, moves that Clark believes address crucial needs for the team.
Clark Praises Veteran Additions

She also acknowledged the front office’s focus on bringing in not only talented players but also strong leaders.
Fever Aim for Contention
The Indiana Fever are looking to build on a season that saw them break a seven-year playoff drought, fueled by Clark’s record-breaking rookie year14. With All-Stars Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston returning, the additions of Bonner and Howard are expected to elevate the team’s competitiveness14.

Bonner’s Perspective
DeWanna Bonner, who signed a one-year deal with the Fever, is also eager to collaborate with Clark25. Despite a brief on-court scuffle between the two in the past, Bonner anticipates a productive partnership. “I think it was just two competitive players who wanted to win,” Bonner said. “I’m excited to step on the court with Caitlin. I think we just feed well off of each other”.
Building a Championship Culture
The Fever’s offseason moves signal a clear intention to contend for a WNBA title34. The acquisition of experienced players, combined with the existing core, positions the team as a team to watch in the upcoming season. As Clark put it, “the whole Fever organization are wanting to help us win now, and I think that’s really important”.
