As the WNBA offseason continues, rumors surrounding potential player moves are swirling, with Indiana Fever veteran guard Erika Wheeler at the center of the latest speculation. Wheeler, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this upcoming January, has already faced constant chatter from fans regarding her future. However, her patience is wearing thin with some persistent messages about free agency that have been flooding her inbox.
On social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Wheeler posted a blunt response to these fans. She expressed her frustration by writing, “Hahah I love how I post a tweet and then yall speak on free agency in my dms hahaha. Like yall, Jan and Feb right there. Yall gone know soon! Let me beeeee lol dang can I be present in Turkey hooping. Ain’t no W conversations going on right now. Just know ima be on a roster.”
Wheeler’s comments come as she plays overseas in Turkey during the WNBA offseason, indicating she’s not ready to engage in discussions about her future with the Fever at this time. Despite the rumors, she emphasized that she plans to be on a roster, but her decision regarding where she will play next season remains uncertain.
The 33-year-old guard has been with the Fever for two stints, most recently returning to the team for the 2023 season. She played 39 games in the 2024 season, contributing 3.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. Despite her contributions, it seems that Wheeler is in no rush to finalize her next move, leaving Fever fans eagerly awaiting updates in the coming months.
As the WNBA free agency window opens in January, all eyes will be on Wheeler’s next decision. Will she remain with the Fever, or will she explore opportunities elsewhere? Fans will have to wait until January or February to learn more about her future with the team.
