The Tamika Catchings era of the Indiana Fever that is, with Catchings as the team’s general manager and vice president of basketball operations has not yet reached the lofty heights once enjoyed by Catchings as a player. A coaching change to Women’s Basketball Hall of Famer Marianne Stanley prior to 2020 did little to guide Indiana back to contention, with the Fever missing their fourth consecutive postseason.
As typical of many young management regimes, Catchings and Stanley opted to make significant roster changes heading into the 2021 season. Candice Dupree, who currently ranks fifth on the WNBA’s all-time scoring ladder, decided to join the Seattle Storm as a free agent, while respected veterans Erica Wheeler and Natalie Achonwa moved on to the Los Angeles Sparks and Minnesota Lynx, respectively.
