After re-signing two-time All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell to keep the team's elite backcourt together, the Indiana Fever have agreed to a deal with free agent forward Natasha Howard, according to Alexa Philippou.

The Indiana Fever expect to sign forward Natasha Howard when free agency opens, adding a two-time All-Star to a lineup already featuring three All-Stars including point guard Caitlin Clark, a person familiar with the deal tells The Associated Press.

Some think the Indiana Fever acquiring Natasha Howard could mean the end of NaLyssa Smith's time with the team.
