New Fever Star Natasha Howard DIDN’T HOLD BACK On Caitlin Clark & Indiana Fever DEFENSE!
Indiana Fever has made a spectacular addition to its roster with the return of three-time WNBA champion and former Defensive Player of the Year, Natasha Howard. Howard’s decision to return to Indiana is not only a significant move for the team but also a powerful response to doubts surrounding Caitlin Clark and the Fever’s appeal to veteran players.
During her introductory press conference, Howard couldn’t hide her excitement about rejoining the team that originally drafted her in 2014. She openly dismissed the notion that experienced players are unwilling to play alongside Caitlin Clark. “Indiana is a team with great potential, and I’m thrilled to be back here to contribute and help the team go further,” Howard emphasized.
Howard’s return brings numerous advantages to the Fever. With her exceptional scoring ability in transition, she promises to be the perfect complement to Clark—one of the league’s most outstanding passers. This duo has the potential to create high-speed offensive plays, making Indiana Fever a more formidable threat on the attack.
Beyond her offensive contributions, Howard brings a championship mentality, extensive experience, and elite defensive prowess. As a former WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, she can help solidify the Fever’s defense—a crucial area the team needs to improve if it wants to compete at the highest level.
Howard’s decision to choose Indiana also signals the team’s resurgence in the WNBA landscape. With young talents like Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston, alongside the return of Howard, the Fever is gradually building a roster capable of challenging the league’s top teams.
The addition of Natasha Howard not only strengthens the Fever but also sends a clear message—Caitlin Clark is not a deterrent to veteran players. On the contrary, she is a magnet for stars willing to fight for an ambitious Indiana Fever.
