Indiana Fever Announce Roster Addition

Bibby–– a 6’0" forward–– most recently played for the Golden State Valkyries, where she was signed as a short-term replacement for roster members participating in the EuroBasket tournament, which ran from June 18–29. In limited minutes, Bibby put up a solid performance—notching 6.4 points and 2.8 rebounds in just 13 minutes per game.

What likely caught Indiana’s attention, however, is Bibby’s efficiency from deep. She shot an impressive 42% from three-point range during her stint with Golden State, bringing a valuable stretch-forward skill set that could help Indiana space the floor well both while Clark is out, and possibly when the Fever star returns to running the offense as well.

The 7-day contract could be seen as a trial run––to feel out how Bibby jells with the team––before deciding to commit her to the roster for the remainder of the season. The signing brings the Fever to 11 active players with Clark’s injury sidelining her indefinitely. 

And whether this 7-day audition turns into something longer remains to be seen. But Bibby could get a chance to showcase her talent on July 27, when the Fever head to Chicago to face-off against the Sky.
