Caitlin Clark’s extended injury absence has prompted the Indiana Fever’s front office to make a move during this crucial juncture in the season. This came in the form of signing 6-foot-2 forward Chloe Bibby on a seven-day contract on July 25.

That short-term deal has now come to an end, which has forced Indiana to make a decision on Bibby’s status with the team.

The team announced on Thursday that Bibby will now be with the squad for the remainder of the season. This is after the 27-year-old put pen to paper on a rest-of-season contract.

The Fever rewarded Bibby with a new deal after two strong performances. She helped Indiana secure back-to-back wins on Sunday against the Chicago Sky and on Wednesday against the Phoenix Mercury.

In her first two appearances for the Fever, the Australian averaged 9.0 points and 2.0 triples in just 12.0 minutes off the bench.

Bibby has been with the team for merely a week, but she’s already made quite an impact on her new teammates. Boston’s enthusiasm over Bibby’s new deal is a testament to the same.

As for her basketball, Boston has needed to step up amid Clark’s absence. While the recent Bibby boost has been great for Indiana, Boston has taken center stage as Clark continues to nurse her re-aggravated groin.

In the five games Clark has sat out, Boston has put up averages of 14.2 points , 9.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 31.8 minutes per contest. Boston will need to keep her foot on the gas on Friday against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings if she hopes to help lead Indiana to its fourth straight win.
