Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston and other Fever players shared heartfelt messages with free agent Chloe Bibby as the Australian left Indiana after the season ended.

Bibby had joined Indiana as a hardship player in July. After impressing in limited appearances, Bibby signed her first standard WNBA deal, worth $66,079, in August. She soon joined the lengthy injury list with a knee issue and was among the five players, including Clark, who were ruled out for the season before the playoffs started.

Nevertheless, Bibby was part of the Fever's famed "bench mob" that dominated headlines during the postseason. She built a great relationship within the locker room and the comments on her farewell message on Instagram are a testament to that.

"So incredibly grateful for this team and these people, truly one of a kind. ❤️ thank you Fever nation🫶🏻," Bibby wrote on Friday.

"Bench buddy 💕💕love ya mate," Caitlin Clark wrote.
"My fav Aussie 😍😍😍😍 miss you alreadyyyy," Aliyah Boston said..

Bree Hall, Aari McDonald and Natasha Howard also dropped heartfelt comments on the post.

Bibby will likely return home to Australia after a busy WNBA season, during which she finally earned a chance after three years with the Golden State Valkyries and the Indiana Fever. Her first chance at making a roster came in 2022 with the Minnesota Lynx, with whom she spent a training camp and preseason.

Chloe Bibby could be among the affordable players for Caitlin Clark-led Fever

Chloe Bibby showcased that she deserves a WNBA roster spot this season. She averaged 4.8 points, shooting 40.5% from 3 in just 11.0 minutes per game in 14 regular-season outings with the Valkyries and Fever. She is one of the better frontcourt 3-point shooters and can elevate a team's offense off the bench.

The Fever's system suited Bibby. Unfortunately for her, she didn't get a chance to play with Caitlin Clark; otherwise, the Fever could have maximized her talents even more. Bibby's ability to move and get to the right spots is critical on a team like the Fever with Clark running point.

The Fever have multiple free agents in the upcoming offseason, including Bibby. Their priority is to retain Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull. Even if they wish to, it's unlikely they'll re-sign the majority of the players from their 2025 roster.

However, Bibby could be among the players they could afford. She had an efficient but limited stint, and the Fever or the Valkyries could gamble on her based on experience.
