News Summary
The Indiana Fever have added Australian forward Chloe Bibby to their roster on a seven-day contract. This decision comes as the team navigates salary cap issues and the absence of Caitlin Clark due to injury. Bibby, who has experience in the WNBA and recently helped her national team win gold, is expected to contribute immediately as the Fever prepare for their upcoming game against the Chicago Sky.
Indianapolis – The Indiana Fever announced they have signed Australian forward Chloe Bibby to a seven-day contract on July 25, 2025. This move comes as the team seeks to bolster its roster while dealing with salary cap constraints and the absence of Caitlin Clark, who is currently recovering from a right groin injury.
Bibby most recently played for the Golden State Valkyries during the ongoing 2025 WNBA season. She had two separate stints with the Valkyries, totaling five games. She re-signed with the team on June 15, but was waived shortly thereafter on June 30. In her second stint, Bibby posted an average of 6.4 points and 2.8 rebounds per game, with her standout performance occurring against the Indiana Fever on June 19, where she recorded 12 points, including two 3-pointers.
During the preseason, Bibby’s performances also included averages of 5.0 points and 1.5 rebounds over two games. Notably, her contributions on the court have included effective shooting and solid rebounding, demonstrating her potential impact on the Fever during her brief tenure.
In addition to her recent club experience, Bibby has made significant contributions to her national team, the Australia Opals. Earlier in July, she was part of the team that secured a gold medal at the 2025 FIBA Women’s Asia World Cup. In this tournament, Bibby averaged 8.0 points and 6.2 rebounds, showcasing her skills on a prominent international stage. This follows her performance in the 2022 FIBA World Cup in Sydney, where she helped lead the Opals to a bronze medal.
Bibby has an impressive basketball resume, having accumulated extensive overseas experience prior to her WNBA career. She was awarded the Polish League MVP during the 2023-24 season and went on to win the MVP award of the Liga Femenina de Baloncesto in Spain for the 2024-25 season. Her college career at Mississippi State and later at Maryland saw her average 13.2 points and 11.9 points per game during her last two seasons, earning her second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2022 and an honorable mention in 2021.
The Indiana Fever’s decision to sign Bibby comes as they work with open roster spots available for the team. The flexibility provided by seven-day contracts allows WNBA teams to evaluate players without committing to a full-season contract. Teams can sign a player up to three times within this framework, enabling a fluid roster strategy that adapts to current needs.
Fans of the Fever will want to mark their calendars, as the team’s upcoming game is scheduled against the Chicago Sky on July 27 at 3 p.m. ET at the United Center. The Fever look to leverage Bibby’s international experience and skills as they prepare for this next challenge amid ongoing roster adjustments.
