Fever sign Michelle Onyiah as frontcourt depth amid Boston injury

Summary

The Indiana Fever announced the signing of Michelle Onyiah, a former California forward, on July 31, 2026. Onyiah's addition comes as a result of Aliyah Boston's lower-leg injury and Justine Pissott's departure to the Las Vegas Aces. The Fever previously declined to match Pissott’s contract offer to maintain roster flexibility. Onyiah, who has yet to appear in a WNBA game, brings overseas experience after averaging 11.1 points, 8.4 rebounds in Belgium last season. She is expected to provide depth in the frontcourt, particularly while Boston is sidelined. Onyiah can participate in team activities and be activated for up to 12 games this season.
