INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Fever continued their offseason overhaul Monday by signing free agent forward Brianna Turner, a two-time WNBA All-Defensive selection.
Turner is the latest addition to a roster that consists of five All-Stars and the WNBA’s last two Rookies of the Year, guard Caitlin Clark and forward Aliyah Boston.
Adding Turner also follows a trend the Fever have followed throughout the offseason — brining in veterans with postseason experience. Indiana already had signed forwards Natasha Howard, a three-time champion and two-time All-Star, and DeWanna Bonner, a two-time champion and six-time All-Star.
Indiana believes the additions will make the franchise a legitimate title contender after ending a seven-year playoff drought last season. The Fever were swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Connecticut Sun.
“I am ecstatic to join the Fever organization and compete for a championship,” Turner said in a statement released by the team. “I was drawn to the team’s commitment to investing in women and providing the best professional atmosphere for success. The front office and coaching staff have assembled a dynamic roster that I’m looking forward to learning from and growing with throughout the season.”
