In a tearful social media post that has the WNBA world buzzing, Australian forward Chloe Bibby shared a heartfelt goodbye to the Indiana Fever, marking the end of her whirlwind 2025 season. The 27-year-old sharpshooter, who joined the Fever on a seven-day contract in late July before earning a rest-of-season deal, reflected on a journey cut short by injury but enriched by unbreakable bonds.
“Indy, you stole my heart in just a few months,” Bibby wrote on Instagram, alongside a carousel of locker-room laughs, post-practice hugs, and Gainbridge Fieldhouse sunsets. “From that late-night call that changed everything to sharing the court with legends like Caitlin and Aliyah – thank you for making this Aussie feel like home. Grateful doesn’t cover it. Miss you alreadyyy 💔 #FeverForever.”
Bibby’s tenure was a dream deferred then ignited. After stints with the Golden State Valkyries and a gold-medal run with the Australia Opals at the 2025 FIBA Women’s Asia World Cup, she arrived in Indiana averaging 9.0 points on her trial stint. Over nine games, she contributed 3.9 points and 1.2 rebounds per outing, her 35.5% college three-point stroke spacing the floor for stars like Caitlin Clark. But a nagging left knee injury sidelined her in August, swelling to a season-ending blow by September.
Teammates flooded her comments with love. Clark, the Fever’s rookie sensation, replied, “Sis, you lit up that court and our hearts. Come back stronger – doors always open! 🔥” Aliyah Boston added, “My ride-or-die. Australia awaits, but Indy misses you. Love you, CB.” Even coach Stephanie White chimed in: “Warrior spirit. Proud of you always.”
As a free agent earning $66,049 this season, Bibby’s future is wide open. Whispers of overseas MVPs in Poland and Spain suggest a return Down Under, but her post hints at unfinished business: “Not goodbye, just see you soon.” For Fever fans, Bibby’s spark amid a injury-plagued year – the fourth season-ender for the squad – was a silver lining in a playoff push.
In Indy, where she traded kangaroos for cornfields, Bibby leaves a legacy of grit and grace. As the offseason looms, her words echo: Hoosier hospitality isn’t just a slogan – it’s family.
