Welcome to the latest update on NaLyssa Smith, the Indiana Fever forward whose future in the WNBA is currently uncertain. Smith, a standout player from East Central High School, was expected to have a breakout year in her third season in the league. However, her performance in the Fever’s recent playoff series has left fans wondering about her next move.
In the 2024 season, Smith averaged 10.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 0.8 steals per game. Despite her solid numbers, Smith seemed dissatisfied with her role in the team and saw her playing time decrease towards the end of the season.
