Overview
- Indiana announced Monday it signed guards Megan McConnell and Kayana Traylor to training-camp contracts ahead of the 2026 WNBA Draft.
- A training-camp contract is a low-cost tryout that creates competition for the final roster spots without a guarantee.
- McConnell, a former Duquesne standout and sister of Pacers guard T.J. McConnell, earned Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year and left as the program’s leader in steals and assists.
- She debuted with the Phoenix Mercury in 2025, played 13 minutes before a knee injury, then returned to action with Australia’s Bendigo Spirit.
- Indiana will evaluate how her defense and distribution mesh with Caitlin Clark, a lens that could also point to a draft focus on wings or frontcourt size according to the reporting.
