Indiana Fever sign Chloe Bibby for rest of season

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indiana Fever have signed Australian forward Chloe Bibby to a rest of season contract, the team announced Friday.

Bibby has played in two games for the Fever since joining on a seven-day contract on July 25.

In two games with Indiana, Bibby has averaged 9.0 points per game, shooting 44.4% from the field and 50% from the arc.

On Wednesday, Bibby scored 10 points in 13 minutes — including two three-pointers — to help Indiana earn a 107-101 win over the Phoenix Mercury.

She made her Fever debut last Sunday, logging 8 points in 11 minutes played as part of an 83-78 road win over the Chicago Sky.

Bibby started the season with the Golden State Valkyries, averaging 6.4 points and 2.8 rebounds per game before being waived June 30.

The Australian forward will be an important part of Indiana’s offense as two-time WNBA All-Star Caitlin Clark continues to recover from a groin injury.

Clark has been ruled out for Friday’s game against the Dallas Wings. It will be her sixth game missed since injuring her right groin in the final seconds of Indiana’s 85-77 win over the Connecticut Sun on July 15.

The team stated there is no timetable for Clark’s return.

The Fever begin a four-game road stint in Dallas on Friday, before heading west to face the Seattle Storm on Aug. 3.
