The Indiana Fever signed Australian forward Chloe Bibby to a seven-day contract.
Bibby played five games for the Golden State Valkyries this season, averaging 6.4 points and 2.8 rebounds a game. Her best game of the season was June 19 against the Fever when she played a season-high 24 points and had a season-high 12 points with three rebounds and two made 3s. The 6-footer shot 42% (8-of-19) from behind the arc in her limited run with Golden State.
Earlier this month, Bibby was part of the Australian national team that won the FIBA Asia World Cup. She averaged 8.0 points and 6.2 rebounds for the Opals, who beat Japan in the final on July 20.
Bibby was a second-team All-Big Ten selection at Maryland in 2022 and honorable mention All-Big Ten in 2021 after spending her first three college seasons at Mississippi State.
She has played most of her professional career overseas, earning MVP honors in Poland (2023-24) and Spain (2024-25).
The Fever had an open roster spot after beginning the season with just 11 players because of salary cap restrictions. Caitlin Clark remains out with right groin injury with an uncertain timetable for a return.
A seven-day contract is only available to teams in the second half of the season, and it allows teams flexibility when they don't want to commit to a guaranteed contract. Players will earn the prorated minimum base salary. They can sign up to three seven-day contracts with a single team, but can sign with multiple teams during that time. Teams can also elect to sign those players to a rest-of-season contract at any point.
