On **September 4, 2025**, the Indiana Fever officially announced that **forward Chloe Bibby** will miss the remainder of the 2025 WNBA season due to a **left knee injury*
Bibby, 27, initially joined the Fever on July 25** via a seven‑day hardship contract before earning a rest‑of‑season deal. During her time with Indiana, she appeared in **nine games**, averaging **3.9 points and 1.2 rebounds in 9.8 minutes per contest**, shooting **39.1% from three-point range** ([SB Nation][2], [The Playoffs][3], [ClutchPoints][4]). According to coach Stephanie White, the decision to shut Bibby down was a **“long‑term decision.”** Her knee had swollen and failed to respond to rehab during road trips to Los Angeles and Phoenix, making a return this season unlikely
To address the roster loss, the Fever signed **rookie guard Bree Hall** — the No. 20 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft — to a **rest‑of‑season hardship contract** ([Indiana Fever][1], [SB Nation][2]). Hall, a two‑time NCAA champion at South Carolina, had been in the Fever’s preseason but was waived in early May. She also spent time in multiple hardship stints with the Golden State Valkyries this season ([Indiana Fever][1], [SI][7]). Hall will don **jersey No. 3**, joining the growing cadre of hardship‑signed guards including Odyssey Sims, Shey Peddy, and Aerial Powers
Despite Bibby’s loss and an injury‑plagued roster, the Fever remain in the thick of the playoff race. As of the announcement, Indiana held the **eighth and final playoff spot**, with a **21–20 record** and a **1.5‑game lead over the Los Angeles Sparks**, with just three regular‑season games left
