That short-term offer has immediately come to an end, which has forced Indiana to make a decision on Bibby’s status with the team.
Indiana Fever Sign Chloe Bibby
The team announced on Thursday that Bibby will immediately be with the squad for the remainder of the season. This is after the 27-year-old put pen to paper on a rest-of-season contract.
The Fever rewarded Bibby with a new offer after two strong performances. She helped Indiana secure back-to-back wins on Sunday against the Chicago Sky and on Wednesday against the Phoenix Mercury.

Fever fans have been clamoring for a long-term contract for Bibby, and they finally got their wish on Friday. This was met with excitement by the Indiana faithful, which was also the case for Fever star Aliyah Boston.

“🤩🤩🤩 wohoo,” she wrote.
Bibby has been with the team for merely a week, but she’s already made quite an impact on her new teammates. Boston’s enthusiasm over Bibby’s new offer is a testament to the same.
As for her basketball, Boston has needed to step up amid Clark’s absence. While the recent Bibby boost has been great for Indiana, Boston has taken center stage as Clark continues to nurse her groin injury.
In the five games Clark has sat out, Boston has put up averages of 14.2 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 31.8 minutes per contest. Boston will need to keep her foot on the gas on Friday against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings if she hopes to help lead Indiana to its fourth straight win.
