How Did The Indiana Fever Perform In 2025?
The Indiana Fever put together one of the most resilient seasons in the WNBA during 2025. Indiana finished 24-20, won the first Commissioner’s Cup title in franchise history and secured the No. 8 seed in the playoffs despite losing Caitlin Clark to injury midway through the season.
Even without Clark, the Fever proved they could compete with the league’s best. Indiana upset the top-seeded Atlanta Dream in the first round before pushing the eventual champion Las Vegas Aces to five games in the WNBA Semifinals, including an overtime thriller in the deciding Game 5.
Kelsey Mitchell earned First Team All-WNBA honors after averaging 20 points per game, while Aaliyah Boston posted the best season of her career with 15 points, 8.2 rebounds and Second Team All-WNBA and All-Defensive selections. Before her injury, Clark averaged 16.5 points and 8.8 assists per game and remained one of the league’s most dynamic offensive players.
With Clark returning alongside Boston, Mitchell and first-round pick Raven Johnson, Indiana enters 2026 looking like one of the Eastern Conference’s top playoff contenders once again.
Key Indiana Fever Players To Watch In 2026
The Indiana Fever return much of the core that helped the franchise win the 2025 Commissioner’s Cup and reach the WNBA Semifinals. With Caitlin Clark, Aaliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell leading the way, Indiana enters 2026 as one of the Eastern Conference’s most dangerous playoff contenders.
Clark has already become one of the faces of the WNBA just two seasons into her career. The former Rookie of the Year and multiple-time All-Star has averaged 18.5 points, 8.5 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game during her career while transforming Indiana’s offense with her shooting range and playmaking ability.
Although injuries limited Clark for much of the 2025 season, her return gives the Fever one of the league’s highest offensive ceilings heading into 2026.
Aaliyah Boston
Boston continues to establish herself as one of the WNBA’s best two-way frontcourt players. Last season, she earned Second Team All-WNBA and All-Defensive honors after averaging 15 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.
Her chemistry with Clark has quickly become one of the league’s most difficult combinations to defend.
Kelsey Mitchell
Mitchell followed her breakout 2024 campaign with another outstanding season in 2025, averaging 20 points per game while earning First Team All-WNBA honors. Her scoring ability and perimeter shooting give Indiana another elite offensive weapon alongside Clark and Boston.
Raven Johnson
The Fever also added one of the top defensive guards in the 2026 rookie class with Raven Johnson. The former South Carolina standout brings perimeter defense, athleticism and outside shooting depth to an already loaded Indiana backcourt.
With its young core continuing to develop, Indiana enters 2026 with legitimate championship aspirations for the first time in years.
Top Indiana Fever Rivalries To Watch In 2026
The Indiana Fever enter 2026 with some of the WNBA’s most anticipated matchups thanks to Caitlin Clark, the team’s recent playoff success and the growing competition in the Eastern Conference. Games against the Chicago Sky, New York Liberty and Atlanta Dream should once again carry major playoff implications throughout the season.
The Fever and Sky have quickly developed one of the WNBA’s most talked-about rivalries, fueled by regional proximity and star power on both rosters. Matchups featuring Caitlin Clark, Kamilla Cardoso and Chicago’s revamped veteran core are expected to draw national attention throughout the season.
After several recent postseason battles, the Liberty remain one of Indiana’s biggest measuring sticks in the Eastern Conference. The Fever’s young core will once again be tested against veterans Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and the defending conference contenders.
Indiana’s first-round playoff upset over Atlanta in 2025 added extra intensity to this matchup heading into 2026. Both teams are expected to compete near the top of the Eastern Conference standings again this season.
