Chloe Bibby Says “Emotionally Goodbye” to the Indiana Fever.
Australian forward Chloe Bibby bid the Indiana Fever farewell with a heartfelt social media post that has the WNBA community in a frenzy as she wraps up her incredible 2025 season. The 27-year-old shooter, who signed a seven-day contract with the Fever in late July before receiving a contract for the remainder of the season, looked back on a journey that was cut short by injury but filled with indestructible memories.
Bibby posted a montage of post-practice hugs, sunsets at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and locker-room giggles on Instagram along with the caption, “Indy, you stole my heart in just a few months.” “Thank you for making this Australian feel at home, from that late-night call that made all the difference to sharing the court with icons like Caitlin and Aliyah. “Grateful” is insufficient.
Bibby’s tenure was a dream that was postponed and then sparked. She came to Indiana with an average of 9.0 points during her trial period, following stints with the Golden State Valkyries and a gold medal run with the Australia Opals at the 2025 FIBA Women’s Asia World Cup. With her 35.5% college three-point shooting percentage, she averaged 3.9 points and 1.2 rebounds per game over nine games, setting the floor for players like Caitlin Clark. However, she was sidelined in August due to a persistent left knee injury, which by September had gotten worse and ended her season.
Her teammates showered her comments with affection. “Sis, you lit up that court and our hearts,” retorted Clark, the Fever’s rookie sensation. The doors are always open, so return stronger! “My ride-or-die,” Aliyah Boston continued. Indy misses you, but Australia is waiting. I adore you, CB. “Warrior spirit,” even coach Stephanie White added. Always proud of you.
Bibby’s future is up in the air as a free agent making $66,049 this season. A return to Australia is suggested by rumors of overseas MVPs in Poland and Spain, but her post leaves room for unresolved business: “Not goodbye, just see you soon.” For Fever supporters, Bibby’s performance during a season marred by injuries—the team’s fourth season-ending performance—was a bright spot in a postseason run.
Bibby leaves a legacy of grace and grit in Indianapolis, where she exchanged kangaroos for cornfields. Her words, “Hoosier hospitality isn’t just a slogan—it’s family,” reverberate as the offseason approaches.
