Indiana Fever depth chart for 2025 WNBA season after trading for Natasha Howard

The Indiana Fever are bringing championship experience to the roster with their latest free-agency move. Dallas Wings' veteran Natasha Howard is reportedly joining the Fever, the team that originally drafted her 10 years ago into the WNBA.

Alexa Philippou of ESPN reported Friday that Howard is headed back to Indiana after spending two seasons with the Wings following a three-team trade that sent her to Texas. This move gives Stephanie White's team extra presence on defense as Howard is a more than capable defender who won the 2019 award as the best defender in the league and is a three-time champion.

The Indiana Fever have renewed hopes after parting ways with Christie Sides and landing White from the Connecticut Sun. This move can be beneficial for Indiana. More than that, it couldn't be the only one they make, as Satou Sabally remains a player of interest around the league, including Indiana.

The Fever are putting together an intriguing team and Howard gives them an edge over several other squads in the W. Waiting to see if they land more players, here's the probable starting lineup of the team and depth chart rotation.

Several fans reacted to this post, and two WNBA stars also shared their excitement about the new chapter in Howard's career. Former Wings teammate Satou Sabally, who is on the Fever's radar as well, wrote a two-word message to celebrate the move.
