Indiana Fever bolster frontcourt depth in signing Brianna Turner

The Indiana Fever are getting some depth in the frontcourt.

The Fever have signed forward Brianna Turner, according to the WNBA transactions page. Terms of the deal, including whether it is unprotected or protected money, is not yet reported. It is not listed as a training camp contract, meaning Turner signed with Indiana for more than the veteran minimum.

On the Fever, Turner will reunite with her former Phoenix teammates in Sophie Cunningham and DeWanna Bonner. She will also provide some much-needed depth in Indiana's frontcourt, playing behind likely starters Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard.

Turner, No. 11 pick in the 2019 WNBA draft out of Notre Dame, is a six-year league veteran. She played five years with the Phoenix Mercury, mostly in a starting role, and her most productive season came in 2021 − starting all 32 regular-season games, she averaged 7.8 points and 9.4 rebounds in the 2021 season. Turner continued to be a full-time starter for Phoenix in 2022 and '23, but her scoring and rebounding numbers dropped slightly.
