The Indiana Fever entered the WNBA as an expansion franchise in 2000. Since the team’s inception, it has made the playoffs in all but four seasons and hasn’t missed the playoffs since 2004. The Fever fell to the Chicago Sky in 2014 and enter 2015 with high hopes of getting back to the WNBA Finals in the first season under Stephanie White.

Here’s what to watch for in Indiana this season:

Catchings nearing end of career

Tamika Catchings has been the centerpiece of the Fever franchise for years, but her time in the league is coming to a close. The 2011 WNBA MVP is set to retire after the 2016 WNBA season, so the next two seasons will act as her farewell tour.

The Fever have plenty of talent around Catchings to make it back to the playoffs and push for her second title. Catchings spoke at Fever media day and said she’ll be looked to as an extension of the coaching staff this season. As her playing career winds down, the nine-time All-Star will have a larger leadership role.

January’s continued growth

Briann January has continued to grow as a player each season since she was drafted ninth overall in 2009, and her development hasn’t gone unnoticed. She earned All-Star honors in 2014 and was invited to Team USA minicamp in May.

January told the Fever’s official website that White is implementing an offense that won’t require her to bring the ball up the court every time. She’ll have more freedom to attack the rim and make plays in different ways than years past.

She averaged 10.3 points per game and a team-best 3.7 assists per game in 2014.

Achonwa makes her debut

Although Indiana didn’t make much noise in this year’s draft, they’ll still be welcoming a rookie to the court in 2015. Natalie Achonwa is set to make her debut with the Fever after an ACL injury kept the 2014 No. 9 pick out last season.

She spent the offseason working in basketball operations for Notre Dame, so she hasn’t been away from the game while she’s been off the court. The 22-year-old will miss some of the season due to Canadian national team duties, but her addition to the Fever frontcourt will be welcomed in White’s first year.

First year under White

Stephanie White takes over the head coaching duties after a four-year stint on former head coach Lin Dunn’s staff. The former Fever player now gets to coach a talented core – including Catchings, who she played with during her final two seasons in the WNBA – that’s hoping to topple the Chicago Sky as Eastern Conference champions.

White wants to run a more free-flowing offense but still places an emphasis on gritty defense. Indiana had the fifth-best offensive rating in 2014 (100.5 points scored per 100 possessions) but didn’t display the same defensive prowess that Indiana has become known for over the years.

Climbing back to the top

No stranger to the playoffs, the Fever have consistently been one of the Eastern Conference’s best teams over the past 10 years. The team has appeared in seven WNBA Eastern Conference Finals series but has only advanced to the Finals twice, bringing home the WNBA title in 2012.

They’ll look to continue that success in 2015. They return a talented core of Catchings, Briann January, Erlana Larkins and Shavonte Zellous and added Shenise Johnson in the offseason. Add in Achonwa and the 2014 No. 5 pick Natasha Howard and the Fever boast a roster that looks poised to make another run.
