Indiana Fever 2023 season: 13–27, scoring 81 points per game and allowing 85.1 (-4 average margin) across 40 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
The Fever finished 13–27, 10th in the league standings, with a -4.5 net rating that ranked 9th of 12. This was an offense-first team — 5th in offensive rating (101.8) but 11th on defense (106.3 allowed per 100). They ground games down, second-slowest pace in the league. They stood out for the offensive glass (11.2 a game, 2nd), with no statistical category near the bottom of the league. Kelsey Mitchell (18.2 ppg) and Aliyah Boston (14.5) carried the scoring load between them, though the on/off numbers point to Aliyah Boston as the one they can least afford to lose — +9.5 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 3-game winning streak (Aug 20–Aug 27) and a 21-point rout of the Mystics on Jun 13. The lows: an 8-game losing streak (Jun 24–Jul 12) and a 27-point loss to the Sky on Sep 5. They went 1–13 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a middle-of-the-pack team — good enough to beat anyone on a given night, not consistent enough to be feared.
