Danielle Robinson Returns to Indiana Fever: Veteran Guard Set to Bring Leadership and Experience
In a move that brings both excitement and stability to the Indiana Fever, veteran guard Danielle Robinson is officially returning to the team for the upcoming WNBA season. The Fever announced Robinson’s return in a press release early this week, confirming that the seasoned floor general will continue to be a part of the franchise’s growing core as they push for playoff contention.
Robinson, a three-time WNBA All-Star, has been a fixture in the league since she was drafted sixth overall by the San Antonio Silver Stars in 2011. Known for her lightning-quick speed, court vision, and vocal leadership, Robinson brings a wealth of experience that is invaluable to a young team like the Fever, who have been rebuilding around a talented group of rising stars.
Her return marks a crucial step in maintaining continuity for the Fever, a team that has undergone significant transformation in recent years. With young talents such as Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, and NaLyssa Smith anchoring the roster, Robinson’s presence provides a seasoned voice who can guide the younger players both on and off the court.
“I’m honored to continue my journey with the Indiana Fever,” Robinson said in a statement. “This team has shown incredible growth, and I’m excited to contribute to what we’re building here. I believe in the vision, and I’m here to help in any way I can—whether that’s with my play, my leadership, or simply being a mentor to the next generation.”
During the 2024 season, Robinson provided steady minutes off the bench and was often praised by Head Coach Christie Sides for her locker room presence and ability to control the tempo of the game. Though not always filling up the stat sheet, Robinson’s impact has been felt in the form of defensive tenacity, smart decision-making, and an unmatched work ethic.
Sides welcomed Robinson’s return with open arms, stating, “Danielle is a true professional. Her leadership is something that can’t be taught. The younger players look up to her, and her work speaks for itself. Having her back ensures we have a dependable veteran voice on the court.”
As the Fever look to make a serious run at the playoffs in 2025, the return of Danielle Robinson sends a clear message: Indiana is not just focused on youth—they’re committed to blending experience with potential. And with Robinson back in the fold, the Fever may have found the perfect balance.
