The Indiana Fever have added forward Ugonne Michelle Onyiah to the team on a player development contract. This move follows her recent stint with the Charlotte Crown in the Upshot League where she established herself as a top rebounder and shot blocker.

Onyiah brings professional experience from her time with Basket Namur Capitale in Belgium during the 2025-26 season. Her production during that campaign included double-digit scoring averages along with solid rebounding numbers.

Her collegiate career at the University of California Berkeley highlights her defensive capabilities and consistency near the rim. She concluded her time there with notable career marks in field goal percentage and total blocks.
