The Indiana Fever waived Celeste Taylor, the 15th overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, on Monday ¹. This move was made to create a roster spot for Damiris Dantas, who is returning from a knee injury ¹. Dantas, a nine-year veteran, has played for the Minnesota Lynx and Atlanta Dream in the past and joined the Fever on a guaranteed two-year contract in February ¹.
Dantas has been out of action for four months with an MCL injury, but she is now ready to join the active roster ¹. The Fever’s move to add Dantas to the active roster and waive Taylor suggests that they are looking to bolster their lineup with a more experienced player ¹. Dantas has played six seasons with the Lynx and three with the Dream, and her veteran presence is expected to be an asset to the Fever ¹.
The Fever saw their four-game winning streak come to an end with an 88-87 loss to the Chicago Sky on Sunday ¹. They will look to bounce back against the Seattle Storm on Thursday, with Dantas potentially making her debut for the team ¹. With the addition of Dantas to the active roster, the Fever will be hoping to regain their momentum and make a push for the playoffs ¹.
