Indiana Fever Signs Former Lynx Star Temi Fagbenle to Training Camp Contract
Experienced Forward Brings Championship Pedigree to Indianapolis
Fagbenle's Three-Point Shooting Prowess Enhances Fever's Draft Pick
Temi Fagbenle, a former standout for the Minnesota Lynx, has been signed to a training camp contract by the Indiana Fever for the 2024 season. Fagbenle's addition will bolster the Fever's roster as they prepare for the upcoming WNBA campaign. Fagbenle spent three seasons with the Lynx from 2017 to 2019, averaging 6.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. She also showcased her offensive versatility, connecting on 548 career three-pointers. Her ability to stretch the floor will complement the Fever's high-scoring guard, Caitlin Clark, who was selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. Indiana won the lottery to earn the first overall pick in this year's draft, giving them the opportunity to add a highly talented player like Clark. The guard from Iowa averaged 27.4 points and 8.0 assists per game in her collegiate career, earning consensus All-American honors. Fagbenle's presence on the Fever's roster will provide Clark with an experienced target on the perimeter. Her veteran leadership and shooting ability will be crucial for the Fever's success in 2024. The team is hopeful that Fagbenle's addition will help them contend for a playoff berth and beyond.
