Wheeler, 33, returned to the Indiana Fever for a second run with the franchise in 2023. She appeared in almost every regular season game for the Fever last year but only averaged 3.6 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 14 minutes per game.

Erica Wheeler hints at not returning to the Indiana Fever in free agency

Erica Wheeler discussed her future in the WNBA with free agency looming. Based on some of her recent social media posts, her second run with the Indiana Fever could be coming to an end.

Wheeler is among the many players set to hit free agency. Despite the Fever having a lot to offer, the veteran guard looks ready to play the field. On Threads, Wheeler said her agent sent her a list of teams in free agency. She also said she plans to drop hints on what might be next for her.

Erica Wheeler is one of two key free agents the Fever have to decide on this offseason. The other is Kelsey Mitchell, who had one of her best years in the pros playing alongside Caitlin Clark.

Coming off a season where they were able to end their playoff drought, the Fever would look to continue building around Clark. They've already made some upgrades this offseason, bringing in Stephanie White as head coach.
