Indianapolis, IN – The Indiana Fever have officially announced their projected starting five and first subs as training camp heats up — and it’s already making waves across the WNBA landscape. With expectations sky-high heading into the 2025 season, the Fever are showing their cards early, signaling confidence in both their young stars and key veterans.

Confirmed Starting Five:

PG: Caitlin Clark – The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Clark takes the reins as the team’s floor general. Her elite shooting, passing vision, and leadership presence already have teammates buzzing.

SG: Kelsey Mitchell – A proven scorer and longtime Fever standout, Mitchell brings experience and explosive offense to the backcourt alongside Clark.

SF: Lexie Hull – The defensive-minded wing earns the nod thanks to her energy, hustle, and improved outside shooting. Her role will be critical in guarding elite perimeter players.

PF: NaLyssa Smith – Entering her third season, Smith continues to develop into one of the league’s most versatile forwards. Her rebounding and face-up game give the Fever an inside-out threat.

C: Aliyah Boston – The reigning Rookie of the Year anchors the paint. Her presence on both ends of the floor makes her the defensive backbone and a go-to post option.

First Off The Bench:

Erica Wheeler (G) – The veteran playmaker brings leadership, tempo control, and instant offense off the bench. Expect her to run the second unit and mentor Clark early in the season.

Kristy Wallace (G/F) – A flexible guard-forward hybrid, Wallace gives the Fever versatility, defense, and solid ball-handling.

Temi Fagbenle (F/C) – Recently acquired, Fagbenle adds size, rim protection, and international experience to back up Boston and Smith in the frontcourt.

 Coach Christie Sides on the Lineup:

“We’re building something real here. This group brings energy, skill, and competitiveness. Training camp is where we set the tone, and these are the players stepping up and owning their roles.”What’s Next?

With preseason games on the horizon, fans will soon get their first look at how this lineup gels under game conditions. The chemistry between Clark and Boston is a major storyline to watch, while Mitchell’s leadership and Smith’s inside-out versatility make Indiana’s core as promising as any in the league.

After years of rebuilding, the Fever are making a bold statement — the foundation is set, and the push for playoff contention starts now.
