This season, there will be a month-long break for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris — Team USA women’s basketball roster is primarily comprised of WNBA players. The WNBA will still play 40 games with an All-Star break during the season, something the league has not yet done in an Olympic year. Those events will scrunch teams’ 40 games into a shorter time frame, leading to more games on back-to-back days.
The Fever went 13-27 in the 2023 season, finishing sixth in the Eastern Conference and 10th in the full WNBA standings.
On Dec. 10, Indiana received the top pick in the 2024 draft for the second year in a row. The Fever used their 2023 No. 1 draft pick on South Carolina center Aliyah Boston, who became the WNBA Rookie of the Year. The 2024 draft will be on April 15.
