Part 3/8:
Basketball analyst Rebecca Lobo noted that Howard’s inclusion brings the Fever closer to contending for a title, suggesting that they may only be one "strategic signing" away from serious championship contention. Discussions about other potential signings include veteran player DeWanna Bonner. With such a move, the Fever would further enhance their championship-caliber roster.
Lobo's claim indicates what many have speculated about Indiana's determined effort to improve. The Fever have been proactively building their roster in anticipation of taking full advantage of the opportunities presented by rising stars like Caitlyn Clark and Aaliyah Boston.
