TheIndiana Fever are an American professionalbasketball team based inIndianapolis. The Fever compete in theWomen's National Basketball Association (WNBA) as a member of theEastern Conference. The team was founded for the2000 WNBA season.^[7] The team is owned byHerb Simon, the founder ofSimon Property Group.^[8]

The Fever have qualified for theWNBA Playoffs in 14 of its 25 seasons in Indiana. In2009, the Fever reached theWNBA Finals but fell short to thePhoenix Mercury in game 5. In2012, the Fever won the WNBA Finals with a 3–1 series victory over theMinnesota Lynx.Tamika Catchings was named the2012 Finals MVP. In2015, the Fever again reached the WNBA Finals but fell short toMinnesota in game 5.

Some of the players who have helped define the history of the Fever includeTamika Catchings,Katie Douglas,Briann January,Natalie Williams,Yolanda Griffith,Shavonte Zellous,Tully Bevilaqua,Tammy Sutton-Brown,Natasha Howard,Candice Dupree,Cappie Pondexter,Erica Wheeler,Kelsey Mitchell,Lexie Hull,Aliyah Boston, andCaitlin Clark.

The Indiana Fever team was founded in 2000 following the WNBA's announcement on June 7, 1999, of four locations, including Indiana, having been granted an expansion franchise to coincide with the opening ofGainbridge Fieldhouse (then Conseco Fieldhouse).^[7] Notably, the Fever's launch campaign was accompanied with the slogan "In 49 states it's just basketball, but this is Indiana," which has become a popular catchphrase regarding the sport's popularity in the state.^[9] The league held anexpansion draft for the Fever,Miami Sol,Portland Fire, andSeattle Storm on December 15, 1999.^[10]

In their first two seasons, they were coached by women's basketball legendsAnne Donovan andNell Fortner. Led by centerKara Wolters, in their inaugural campaign the team posted a record of 9–23.

The Fever draftedUniversity of Tennessee starTamika Catchings in the 2001 WNBA Draft. The Fever went into the year with high expectations of a playoff berth, but Catchingstore herACL during a college game and missed the entire WNBA season. The Fever posted a 10–22 record in 2001.

After missing the entire 2001 season, the 2002 season proved to be the breakout season for Tamika Catchings and the Fever. Catchings came out strong and became one of the most versatile players in the WNBA, easily winningRookie of the Year honors as well as making theWNBA All-Star team. Her team competed well all year and posted a respectable 16–16 record, tying for the final playoff spot with theOrlando Miracle. Indiana won the tiebreaker and earned their first playoff appearance in franchise history. They drew the #1 seed in the playoffs, theLiberty; with the Fever losing two games to one.

The 2002–2003 offseason brought a lot of change for the Fever. The team added OlympianNatalie Williams andCharlotte Sting starKelly Miller before the 2003 season. During the offseason the original coach and GM Nell Fortner resigned.Kelly Krauskopf replaced Fortner as GM and immediately hiredBrian Winters to be the head coach. On May 29, 2003, the Fever registered their first sellout of 18,345 and defeated theWashington Mystics on national television. The team did better under the new coaching, but missed the playoffs, posting a 16–18 record.

The 2004 campaign was very similar to 2003's. The Fever finished with a 15–19 record. They missed the playoffs by one game in the Eastern Conference.

In 2005, the Fever had their best season since joining the league, posting a 21–13 record, and making the playoffs for just the second time. In the first round, the Fever swept theNew York Liberty two games to none, earning their first playoff series victory in franchise history. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Fever faced the heavily favoredConnecticut Sun. Game 1 came down to the final seconds whenKatie Douglas hit a crucial three to win the game for the Sun. Game 2 went into overtime, with the Sun winning, thus sweeping the Fever two games to none.

In the 2005–2006 offseason, the Fever acquired All-StarAnna DeForge from thePhoenix Mercury in exchange forKelly Miller. Later that offseason the Fever made another All-Star addition by signing free agentTamika Whitmore from theLos Angeles Sparks. In the2006 WNBA draft they selected athletic swing-forwardLa'Tangela Atkinson from theNorth Carolina Tar Heels along with Kasha Terry from theGeorgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

The Fever started the 2006 season off at 4–0 and jumped out to an early lead in the Eastern Conference standings. TeammatesTamika Catchings andTully Bevilaqua led the league in steals, first and second respectively, the first time teammates led the league in one statistical category. The Fever posted a 21–13 record, making the playoffs for the second year in a row. In the first round, the Fever faced archrival Detroit. Detroit won Game 1 in Indianapolis and held a one-game to nothing lead in the series. Game 2 inDetroit was a high-scoring affair with Tamika Whitmore scoring a WNBA Playoff record 41 points. Detroit won in the end, 98–83 and won the series two games to none.

Going into the 2006–2007 off-season, the Fever looked to improve their post play. In theDispersal Draft, the Fever added veteran forwardSheri Sam from theCharlotte Sting. Kelly Krauskopf and the front office then set their eyes on key Free Agent CenterTammy Sutton-Brown, signing her on March 22, 2007. The Fever also selected 6–7 centerAlison Bales fromDuke University in the2007 WNBA draft to go along with Sutton-Brown.

Going into the 2007 season, the Fever had their eyes set on the WNBA Finals. They started off the season strong, winning 16 out of their first 20 games, which was the best 20 game start in history of the Eastern Conference. Then on July 20, key player Tamika Catchings injured her foot causing her to miss the rest of the regular season. The injury was later revealed as a partial tear of herplantar fascia. The Fever finished 5–9 without Catchings. They won the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs, beating out the Connecticut Sun. They played the same Sun team in first round of the playoffs. Game 1 in Connecticut was an epic battle, going three overtimes with the Sun hanging on to win Game 1, 93–88. The Fever won Game 2 at home by double digits forcing a decisive Game 3. In game 3, the Fever found themselves down by 22 points late halfway through the 3rd quarter. The Fever battled back to win Game 3 in overtime by the same score as Game 1 93–88. The 22-point comeback was the largest comeback in WNBA Playoff history. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Fever played their other hated rival, theDetroit Shock. The Fever grabbed an early lead in the series, winning Game 1 at Conseco Fieldhouse. With the team just 1 game away from theWNBA Finals the Fever traveled to Detroit. In Game 2, the game was close until the 2nd quarter, when the Shock blew the game wide open with a 14–0 run, easily winning the game. With a spot in the Finals up for grabs in Game 3, the Fever started off the game with an early 17–3 lead. Then late in the first half Catchings went down with another injury; she had completelytorn herAchilles tendon. The Shock ended up winning Game 3, 85–61.

On October 26, 2007, the Fever announced that they declined the option for head coachBrian Winters, ending his four-year tenure in charge.^[11] He compiled a 78–58 regular season record with a 5–7 playoff record. On December 12, 2007, assistant coachLin Dunn was named his successor to the job as head coach.^[12]

In one of the biggest trades in WNBA history, the Fever tradedTamika Whitmore and their first-round pick in the2008 WNBA draft forIndianapolis native,Katie Douglas on February 19, 2008.^[13]

The Fever were part of theLiberty Outdoor Classic, which was the first regular-season professional basketball game played outdoors. It was played between the Fever andNew York Liberty atArthur Ashe Stadium inFlushing, New York on July 19, 2008, with the Fever winning the game, 71–55.

During the 2008 season, the Fever struggled in comparison to the three previous seasons. They finished with a 17–17 record, good for fourth place in the playoffs. Meeting theDetroit Shock in the first round, the Fever lost in three games.

After a disappointing 2008 season, the Fever were looking to improve in 2009.Indiana Pacers owners had said the Fever have been losing money. The only thing to save the Fever from folding in the near future, the owners inferred, was for the Fever to be successful on the court and at the box office. The Fever took the owners' ultimatum to heart and reached the playoffs as the first seed overall in the Eastern Conference with a franchise best record of 22–12. In the first round, the Fever ousted theWashington Mystics in a sweep, marking their return to the conference finals. In the East finals, again facing their rivalDetroit Shock, they reached their first everWNBA Finals by defeating the Shock in three games. The Fever then lost in 5 games to thePhoenix Mercury in theWNBA Finals.

Because of the success in 2009, the Fever announced they would remain inIndianapolis for 2010. Their 2011 season in Indianapolis was also confirmed as well.

In 2012, the Fever advanced to the 2012 WNBA Finals. Indiana then defeated theMinnesota Lynx, 3 games to 1. It was the Fever's first WNBA title.

After the Fever won the 2012 WNBA championship, the ownership group took notice of their management – by promoting general manager Kelly Krauskopf to president of the franchise.^[14] Krauskopf has been giving additional duties within the franchise as well as a pay increase.^[15] The Fever competed for another title in2015, reaching the finals for the third time in franchise history, but fell short losing to the Minnesota Lynx in five games. In2016, the Fever made it to the playoffs for the12th consecutive time (the current WNBA record for most consecutive playoff appearances by a team).^[16] However, the Fever were upset in the first round elimination game against thePhoenix Mercury after the league's new playoff format was in effect. This game also marked the final game ofTamika Catchings's playing career; she had been known as the Fever'sfranchise player since 2002.

On November 18, 2016, the Fever announcedPokey Chatman as their new head coach.^[17] In February 2017, they traded for five-time all-starCandice Dupree along with the Mercury's 2017 first-round pick in a three-team deal that sentCamille Little andJillian Alleyne to the Mercury and theConnecticut Sun receiving the 8th overall pick in the2017 WNBA draft along withLynetta Kizer from the Fever.^[18] Despite acquiring a veteran all-star forward and a new head coach, the Fever would have one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history. On August 12, 2017, the Fever were defeated 111–52 by the Minnesota Lynx, the largest margin of defeat in WNBA history, and allowed a league record 37–0 scoring run.^[19] The Fever finished with the second-worst record in the league of 9–25 in their first season after Catchings's retirement, ending a streak of 12 consecutive playoff seasons.^[20]

Disappointment continued for the rebuilding Fever in 2018, as they finished in last place with a 6–28 record. On March 4, 2019, Pacers Sports & Entertainment announcedAllison Barber, as the new president and chief operating officer of the Fever, while Catchings was named vice president of Fever Basketball Operations.^[21] They wound up with the third selection in the2019 WNBA draft, selectingTeaira McCowan fromMississippi State. The 2019 season saw some improvement, and the team finished 13–21, two games out of the playoffs. After the season, coach and general managerPokey Chatman was fired.^[22]

On November 27, 2019,Marianne Stanley was introduced as the head coach of the Indiana Fever, making her the seventh coach in the franchise's 20-year WNBA history. In addition, it was also announced that Catchings would be promoted to general manager.^[23]

Near the end of the 2019 season, the Fever announced that they would move their home games toButler University'sHinkle Fieldhouse for the 2020 and 2021 seasons, plus at least part of the 2022 season, to accommodate renovations of Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The team planned to return to the renamed Gainbridge Fieldhouse upon project completion.^[24] However, the2020 WNBA season was played inIMG Academy inBradenton, Florida, due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. For the 2021 season, the Fever played their first four home games at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, before playing the remaining home games atIndiana Farmers Coliseum.^[25]

On February 14, 2022, Tamika Catchings stepped down as the vice president of basketball operations and general manager of the Indiana Fever.^[26]

On February 24, 2022, former Fever coach Lin Dunn, who guided the team to a WNBA title in 2012, was introduced as the franchise's interim general manager and senior advisor for Fever basketball operations.^[27]

The franchise generally struggled in 2022 and 2023, earning the top WNBA draft pick after both seasons. In2023, the Fever choseSouth Carolina'sAliyah Boston with the number one pick; the next season, amidst the increasing popularity of collegiatewomen's basketball, the Fever choseIowa'sCaitlin Clark first overall. Drafting Clark led to a surge of interest in the team and the WNBA in general, with TV ratings for the2024 WNBA draft (at 2.5 million) overshadowing actual games played over the prior 25 seasons.^[28]

The Fever had a dramatic turnaround in the first season with Clark, going an even 20–20 during the2024 regular season and making their first playoffs since 2016. Clark averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game, becoming the first ever true rookie to lead the WNBA in assists.^[29] TeammatesKelsey Mitchell andAliyah Boston also displayed strong statistics.^[30] In large part due to Clark, Fever home games drew an average of over 17,000 fans in 2024, actually beating their men's counterpart, the Pacers, on a per-game basis (though the Pacers play 20 more home games).^[31] The Fever also drew strongly on the road^[32] and set virtually all of the WNBA television records, recording figures oftentimes not seen since the early days of the league in the late 1990s and early 2000s.^[33] The sixth-seeded Fever ended up falling to theConnecticut Sun in a two-game first round sweep.

In August 2024, the WNBA announced that the Fever would host2025 WNBA All-Star Game and related events in July 2025 for the first time in franchise history.^[34] Tickets for All-Star weekend events went on sale on April 29, 2025, and sold out within seven hours.^[35][36]

The Fever announced on October 27, 2024, that they had parted ways with head coachChristie Sides, having gone 33-47 during Sides' tenure.^[37] On November 1, 2024, the team announced thatStephanie White would return to the organization as head coach.^[38]

The logo was created in 1999 by designer Todd Radom.^[39][40]

Todd Radom has posted some sketches of the logo.^[41] He has said the logo was inspired by a "decidedly retro vibe that references back to something like the 'Hoosiers' era in terms of basketball in Indiana".^[42]

• 2000–2006: The home jerseys were white with red, dark blue and yellow on the sides. On the front, Fever was written across. The road jersey were dark blue with red and yellow on the sides. Indiana in red letters trimmed with white on the chest.
• 2007–2010: Home jerseys are white with blue and yellow strips/trim from the neck down the side. Fever is written in red across the front and on the back the player name is written in all dark blue under the number also in red trimmed in dark blue. The new road jerseys are dark blue with yellow and white trim/strips. Indiana is written on the front in red with white trim and on the back the number is in red with white trim with the player's name underneath in all white. Each jersey has the Fever's alternate logo at the top on the back.
• 2011–2012: As part of the move toAdidas's Revolution 30 technology, the Fever made subtle changes to the uniforms. Home uniforms remain white, but the 'Fever' wordmark is now written in navy with red and yellow trim. Numbers are now rounded and in red. Away uniforms remain unchanged save for the striping patterns and rounded numbers.
• 2013–2015: On October 19, 2012, the Fever announced thatFinish Line will be their uniform sponsor, beginning with the2013 season. The uniform stayed the same aside from a new number scheme and the addition of the uniform sponsor.
• 2016: As part of a league-wide initiative for its 20th season, all games featured all-color uniform matchups. Therefore, the Fever unveiled a yellow jersey as a light-colored uniform to complement its standard navy uniform.
• 2019: The Fever announced Salesforce as their uniform sponsor, replacing Finish Line. Along with all other WNBA team uniforms, the front of the jersey prominently features both Salesforce and AT&T, a new partner for the WNBA. The number of the player is now just on the back of the jersey.
