The Indiana Fever’s last season where they went .500 or better was their 17-17 campaign in 2016. That’s also the last time they made the playoffs. It was Tamika Catchings’ last season after she had led the team to a Finals appearance the year before.
Over the last four seasons the Fever’s winning percentage has gone from .382 to .273 to .188 to .139. They never were able to draft first overall over that span, nor have they done so at any point in their history. That changes this year with the Fever currently on the clock with the potential opportunity to select South Carolina star Aliyah Boston.
Indiana has a new head coach in Christie Sides after neither Marianne Stanley nor Carlos Knox was able to find much success last year. In addition, this is former Fever champion head coach Lin Dunn’s first full offseason as the franchise’s general manager since taking over for Catchings. Can Dunn begin to turn things around?
