Fever Sign Bibby as Clark Sidelined Indefinitely

The Indiana Fever have signed Australian forward Chloe Bibby to a seven-day hardship contract as star Caitlin Clark remains sidelined indefinitely with a groin injury. Bibby, previously with the Golden State Valkyries and a gold medalist at the 2025 FIBA Women's Asia Cup, debuted for the Fever with 8 points and 2 rebounds in a win against the Chicago Sky. Head coach Stephanie White praised Bibby's size, shooting, and quick integration with the team, especially alongside Aliyah Boston. The hardship contract, used in response to multiple injuries, allows both team and player to evaluate a longer-term fit. Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever with 35 points in Clark's absence, and Chicago's Angel Reese missed the game due to a back injury. The Fever's roster adjustments and Bibby's performance come as WNBA teams vie for playoff spots in the season's second half.
