The WNBA preseason continues on Saturday with a matchup between the Indiana Fever and the Atlanta Dream. It marks the second successive preseason game for both teams.
Indiana made some big offseason moves. Attempting to build around their core of reigning Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell, they added experienced names like DeWanna Bonner, Natasha Howard, Sophie Cunningham, and Sydney Colson.
The Atlanta Dream also bolstered their roster. Veteran center Brittney Griner was signed to a one-year deal, ending her 11-year tenure with the Phoenix Mercury. Brionna Jones, a 3-time All-Star forward, joined the Dream from the Connecticut Sun to strengthen their frontcourt.
The Dream were also active in the 2025 WNBA draft. Talented guard Te-Hina PaoPao was selected from South Carolina with the 18th overall pick in the second round, while forward Taylor Thierry was selected from Ohio State with the 36th overall pick in the third round.
