Indiana Fever Mutually Parts Ways With Katie Lou Samuelson

The Indiana Fever have mutually parted ways with forward Katie Lou Samuelson after one season, as part of the team's offseason roster overhaul. Samuelson, who averaged 4.3 points per game in 37 appearances, signed a two-year contract last February but agreed to a buyout, allowing the Fever to create roster space. The team has been active in the offseason, adding players like DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard, who bring championship experience, and re-signing All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell. Samuelson is now set to enter free agency after being on the trade wire for five days. The Fever aim to build on their recent playoff appearance as they prepare for the 2025 season, which begins on May 17 against the Chicago Sky. This marks a significant shift for the Fever as they look to enhance their competitive edge.
