Indiana Fever bring back familiar face as guard gets another opportunity

Bree Hall’s Indiana Fever journey keeps coming full circle

Hall’s path to this moment has been anything but straightforward. The former South Carolina Gamecocks standout was selected by Indiana in the second round of the 2025 WNBA Draft, but she did not survive final roster cuts coming out of training camp. Instead of disappearing from the league’s radar, Hall stayed ready and eventually landed multiple hardship contracts with the Golden State Valkyries before later returning to Indiana on another hardship deal late last season.

That experience matters. Hall already understands Stephanie White’s system, knows the locker room personalities and has experience practicing alongside Indiana’s core players. For a team with championship expectations, continuity matters — especially when trying to maximize the end of the roster.

The 6-foot-1 guard appeared in four regular-season games between Golden State and Indiana last season while also making four playoff appearances with the Fever during their postseason run.

Fever continue building around Caitlin Clark era

Indiana’s development contracts are designed for younger players with fewer than three years of WNBA experience, giving teams added flexibility while allowing prospects to stay integrated with the organization. Hall now fills the Fever’s final development roster spot alongside 2026 second-round pick Justine Pissott.

According to reports, Hall will be eligible to appear in up to 12 games while participating fully in team activities, practices and travel throughout the season. For the Fever, the move is about more than depth. Indiana is trying to build sustainable infrastructure around Clark and the franchise’s young core. Every roster spot matters when expectations shift from rebuilding to competing deep into the postseason.

Hall may not be guaranteed major minutes immediately, but Indiana clearly believes she is worth continuing to invest in. On a roster loaded with star power, sometimes the players fighting for the final spots become important pieces over the course of a long season. And for Hall, this latest return to Indiana represents another opportunity to prove she belongs in the Fever’s future plans.
