The Indiana Fever are adding some familiar family flair to their training camp roster, signing free agent guard Megan McConnell—the sister of beloved Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell.
Megan, a defensive-minded guard who starred at Duquesne, joins the Fever on a training camp contract. While her brother is a staple in the Pacers' rotation, Megan is fighting for her own spot in the Hoosier State. She brings a scrappy, pass-first mentality honed during a strong season playing overseas.
Her path to a permanent WNBA role has been challenging, with just one game of experience for the Phoenix Mercury last season. In that limited action, however, she showed glimpses of her potential with 3 points, 3 assists, a rebound, and a steal in 13 minutes.
For the Fever, this move is all about evaluating fit and depth. With a roster built around superstar rookie Caitlin Clark, a key question will be how McConnell's defensive intensity and distribution skills complement the team's offensive engine. Training camp is the perfect proving ground to see if that chemistry clicks.
Securing a final roster spot won't be easy, but Megan McConnell now has her shot. And you can bet her biggest fan—Pacers fan-favorite T.J.—will be cheering her on every step of the way.
