The New York Liberty, Las Vegas Aces and Minnesota Lynx will all likely make competitive runs in 2025. However, will the Indiana Fever also make a deep postseason run? With Caitlin Clark set to enter her second WNBA season and the Fever having made a number of intriguing additions in the offseason, Indiana will be a team to watch. In fact, former WNBA player Rebecca Lobo considers the Fever to be a “championship contender“.
“After the moves that Indiana made in free agency, I think this is a team that's a championship contender,” Lobo said on ESPN. “They brought back their big three from a year ago. Of course, Caitlin Clark had a monster year, Aliyah Boston as well, Kelsey Mitchell. And then all of the pieces that they added in free agency.
“DeWanna Bonner was a huge pickup for this team. Natasha Howard as well. Both of those players give them flexibility in terms of the lineups they can use. Sophie Cunningham was a great addition for the Indiana Fever as well… I think they are up in the conversation with championship contenders along with the New York Liberty, the Las Vegas Aces and the Minnesota Lynx.”
