Makayla Timpson

IND F-C #21

1dMakayla Timpson provided energy off the bench during Wednesday afternoon’s 80-61 loss to the Valkyries, finishing with 10 points (5-of-9 FGs), six rebounds, three steals, and two blocks in 20 minutes of play.

The rookie Timpson brought energy and made impact plays while her teammates were struggling to match the intensity of the Valkyries. While her impact is often on the defensive end as a rim protector and someone able to alter shots, Timpson accounted for around 16 percent of the Fever’s total offense. Timpson’s scores came on a drive, a putback, off an inbounds pass and in transition. With less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, she even scored over two smaller Valkyries defenders to finish off the first double-digit scoring outing of her WNBA career.

FA G-F #18

2moFever waived guard/forward Jaelyn Brown.

Brown was in the mix for the Fever’s final roster spot, along with 2025 draft pick Makayla Timpson. The 6-foot-1 guard/forward appeared in 14 games for the Wings in 2024, averaging 2.6 points and 1.5 rebounds per appearance. Brown being waived gets Indiana down to 11 players on its roster, meaning Timpson makes the cut.

FA F

2moFever waived F Yvonne Ejim.

After a stellar collegiate career at Gonzaga, Ejim was selected by Indiana with the 33rd overall pick in last month’s draft. With Jaelyn Brown and fellow 2025 draftee Makayla Timpson competing for a roster spot, Ejim faced challenging odds of making the cut with the Fever. Ejim was productive in Indiana’s exhibition win over Brazil, but the Fever are limited to 11 active roster spots instead of 12.

IND G

2moFever waived G Bree Hall.

Indiana cutting Hall is not a surprise, as the Fever have multiple wings on the roster that hopped Hall in the rotation during the Fever’s two preseason games, including DeWanna Bonner, Sophie Cunningham, Lexie Hull, and Jaelyn Brown. The two-time national champion wing out of South Carolina did not play during the Fever’s first preseason game against the Mystics, but she did play the following day in Indiana’s preseason exhibition against Brazil. She scored nine points while shooting 4-for-9 from the field, including one three-pointer and four rebounds in 16 minutes. While that was a respectable showing, it’s worth remembering that the Fever can only carry 11 players on their opening day roster. The Fever’s final opening day roster spot will come down to either Brown, Timpson or No. 33 overall draft pick Yvonne Ejim.

Jillian Alleyne

FA C-F #14

2moFever waived C/F Jillian Alleyne.

A second-round pick of the Mercury in 2016, Alleyne last appeared in a WNBA game in 2021 as a member of the Mystics. The veteran center/forward logged 10 minutes off the bench in Sunday’s exhibition win over Brazil, finishing with three points, seven rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot. With the Fever adding Natasha Howard and DeWanna Bonner during the offseason and Mikayla Timpson via the draft, Alleyne faced long odds to make the final roster.

Makayla Timpson

IND F

3moThe Fever selected Makayla Timpson with the No. 19 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft.

Timpson is one of the best defenders in this draft class, as she is an elite shot-blocker who can also disrupt passing lanes. The 6-foot-2 forward was a three-time All-ACC selection during her Florida State career, most recently averaging 17.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 3.1 blocks per game as a senior. Timpson was an excellent offensive rebounder who did most of her scoring in the paint throughout her college career. She’ll join Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston in Indiana as part of the Fever’s young core.
