Caitlin Clark expressed her excitement about getting to work with new names from the Indiana Fever roster, especially since the franchise just landed several formidable names that boosted their team capabilities.

In an interview, Caitlin Clark praised the Indiana Fever front office for working on improving its roster, particularly in singing names that could complement what they already have.

“I think Kelly [Krauskopf] and Amber [Cox] have done a really good job of finding pieces that fit,” Clark said . “It makes me excited about the future. With [Stephanie White] and her staff coming in here.

Caitlin Clark also shared her progress with the team’s new coach for player development, and getting to work with DeWanna Boonner.

“My ability to work out with Keith [Porter] all offseason has been really fun, got to work out with DB.”

DeWanna Bonner’s move to the Indiana Fever has been a significant one for both her and the team. After spending five seasons with the Connecticut Sun, where she helped the team reach the WNBA Finals in 2022, Bonner decided it was time for a change.

She signed with the Fever, and it brought her to reunite with her former coach Stephanie White, and add to the firepower of the team’s roster. Bonner cited family reasons for the move, as it brings her closer to her twin daughters.
