Caitlin Clark and Makayla Timpson have a contract with Fever

It will be a big offseason for the Indiana Fever's front office as only three players currently hold contracts with the team. Caitlin Clark has two years remaining on her rookie deal, Aliyah Boston has one year and Makayla Timpson has two more years on her rookie contract.

All three players are expected to return to the Fever roster next season. It will be interesting to see which other players from the 2025 squad come back to continue playing alongside Clark.

Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull are set to test free agency. Meanwhile, Fever GM Amber Cox recently made it clear that the organization’s top priority is to re-sign Kelsey Mitchell.
