The Indiana Fever have reached an agreement to sign veteran guard Tyasha Harris in free agency. Harris, a former star at Heritage Christian High School in Indianapolis, is returning to her hometown team after brief stints with the Connecticut Sun and Dallas Wings. The Fever are hoping Harris can provide solid depth in the backcourt behind star players Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell.

Why it matters

The Fever are looking to build a championship contender around Caitlin Clark, and the addition of Harris gives them more experienced depth in the backcourt after dealing with key injuries last season. Harris is a former first-round draft pick who has shown the ability to contribute as a scorer and playmaker when healthy.

The details

Harris, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft, underwent knee surgery last June and missed the majority of the 2025 season. She played briefly for the Dallas Wings last season, averaging 4.6 points, 1.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists in just five games. When fully healthy in 2024 with the Connecticut Sun, Harris averaged a career-high 10.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

  • Tyasha Harris signed with the Indiana Fever in free agency in April 2026.
  • Harris missed most of the 2025 WNBA season due to a knee injury.
