Another talented player coming to the Fever.

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.
