Overview
- Indiana confirmed Saturday a one-year $1.4 million supermax for All-WNBA guard Kelsey Mitchell and the return of Lexie Hull, who announced her deal in a TikTok with Caitlin Clark.
- General manager Amber Cox said keeping Mitchell was the team’s highest priority under the new CBA, which enabled the franchise’s first seven-figure contract.
- Multiple outlets report veteran forward Monique Billings is set to join the Fever after meeting the Liberty, adding frontcourt depth and prior on-court chemistry with Clark from Team USA.
- Indy Star reporter Chloe Peterson says a deal for hometown guard Tyasha Harris is being finalized, boosting the backcourt after her 2025 knee surgery limited her to five games.
- With Clark expected back from last year’s injuries, Indiana is trying to turn a 2025 semifinal run into a 2026 title push, while Sophie Cunningham has only hinted at a return with no agreement announced.
