The Indiana Fever have been making strategic moves this offseason as they aim to build on the momentum of Caitlin Clark‘s promising rookie campaign, and now in their latest gambit they’ve recruited Brianna Turner right from under the nose of Angel Reese’s Chicago Sky.

After securing a postseason berth for the first time since 2016, the team is looking to bolster its lineup for a deeper run in the 2025 season after suffering a First Round exit in the WNBA Playoffs to the Connecticut Sun.

And to sure up the defensive side of the game, the Fever have signed forward Brianna Turner; a former Chicago Sky player who previously teamed up with Angel Reese, and is a two-time All-Defensive First Team nominee.

“Brianna Turner has signed with the Indiana Fever, per the WNBA transactions page,” Chloe Peterson of IndyStar Sports shared on X.com, formerly Twitter. “Some depth for the Fever frontcourt.”

Turner, who had an impressive collegiate career with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish from 2014 to 2019, entered the sport as the overall 11th pick in the 2019 WNBA Draft. Originally selected by the Atlanta Dream, she was immediately traded to the Phoenix Mercury, where she spent five seasons alongside WNBA legends Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner.

During her tenure in Phoenix, the 28-year-old proved herself as a formidable presence on the defensive end but then prior to the 2024 WNBA draft, Turner was traded to the Chicago Sky in exchange for Kahleah Copper.

However, her time in Chicago was short-lived, as she averaged 1.2 points and 2.0 rebounds per game in her lone season with the team. Far below her career peak of 7.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per outing.

Yet despite these modest offensive numbers, Turner remains a defensive specialist who can provide much-needed depth to the Fever’s frontcourt as evidenced by her average of two blocks per game back in 2020.

Can the Fever win the WNBA Playoffs?

Turner’s signing is the latest in a series of calculated acquisitions by the Fever. Indiana has also brought in veteran talents such as forward DeWanna Bonner, guard Sophie Cunningham, and forward Natasha Howard, reinforcing their roster with experience and versatility.

Additionally, the Fever signed 2023 WNBA Coach of the Year Stephanie White to lead the squad just months after she led the Sun to the semifinals, further signaling their intent to compete at the highest level.

With a talented core returning, including Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell, Indiana has positioned itself as a serious championship contender as the Fever aim for their first WNBA title since 2012.

Social media might be down incredibly bad as Lucia from Grand Theft Auto is going insanely viral.

GTA 6’s trailer 2 officially broke a record after the upcoming second look at the game, which has continued to take forever to come out.

GTA 6 broke the record for the longest wait between a first and second trailer for a Rockstar Games title ever.

Rockstar has built a rich world of criminals, lunatics, and thieves spanning from Liberty City to San Andreas and beyond. With GTA 6 on the horizon, fans have become ecstatic after seeing a picture of Lucia.

For those unaware, she is a female criminal in the game. Grand Theft Auto states that she did her time at a prison complex in the State of Leonida in the mid-2020s for an unknown crime.

As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, a picture shows Lucia stripped down to a two-piece bikini.

Here is how fans reacted to Lucia’s apparent new look in Grand Theft Auto:

“Everything is woke if you’ve never seen a woman’s body irl,” one fan said.

“They better have some awesome clothing to choose from. Gotta look cute while doing missions,” a second fan added.

A third fan knew they were no match for her: “If I was in a beauty contest against her, she’d get first place, and I’d get disqualified.”

“She’s beautiful, my sapphic heart can’t take it 🤧,” another X user added.


“not leaving my house anytime soon,” a fan stated about the impending release of the game.

“No arsenal, but ima be a gooner for sure, a sixth fan added.


One final fan added: “Anybody upset about a video game character needs to seriously reevaluate their life.”

Fans Have Waited A Long Time For Grand Theft Auto To Release New Game

After more than a decade of waiting, Grand Theft Auto VI is supposedly finally set to come out in 2025.

Despite their hopes for a release this year fading, the community remains engaged in hopes that a second trailer will be released in early 2025 and a release date of the actual game will come out.

With each passing day, the desire for more news grows stronger.

Hopefully, 2025 will give the fans what they so desperately want.
