Fever looks to trade for Kayla McBride to boost roster alongside Caitlin Clark

The Indiana Fever aim to strengthen their roster for the 2027 season by pursuing a trade for sharpshooter Kayla McBride from the Minnesota Lynx. After consecutive playoff exits against the Las Vegas Aces, the Fever are under pressure to enhance their competitiveness. Bleacher Report's Hunter Cruse suggests the Fever could offer Lexie Hull and two first-round picks to acquire McBride, who is on an expiring contract. However, financial constraints may complicate the move, particularly if the Fever re-sign All-Star Kelsey Mitchell. McBride averaged a career-best 17.6 points per game in 2026 and could provide significant defensive improvements for Indiana.
