WNBA legend Sue Bird praises Fever's offseason so far, dubbing them contenders heading into 2025 WNBA season

This offseason, the Indiana Fever made some big acquisitions in the form of both DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard.

Bonner, the two-time champion and six-time All-Star, is fresh off another impressive season, where she averaged 15.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game.

Howard, the three-time champion and two-time WNBA All-Star, is also fresh off an impressive season with the Dallas Wings where she improved on her scoring numbers from the year before. Last season, Howard averaged 17.6 points, and 6.7 rebounds per game, along with a career-high 2.9 assists per game.

The way WNBA legend Sue Bird sees things, Indiana's offseason moves have them sitting as early contenders in her book. During the latest episode of her A Touch More podcast, Bird spoke about the acquisitions, starting with Howard, who she played with in Seattle from 2018-2020.

"I loved ... loved ... playing with Tash," Bird said. "She's just this glue player that doesn't get enough shine for what she does. A lot of what she does doesn't show up in the box score, but she's just always in the right place at the right time."

In the case of Bonner, Bird believes the acquisition put the team over the top.

"That took (the offseason moves) to another level. They're a contender," she added.

When the season tips off in May, it will be interesting to see how things play out.
