South Carolina women\u2019s basketball alum Ty Harris has signed a new WNBA contract.<\/p>\n

According to a report from Indy Star Sports\u2019 Chloe Peterson<\/a>, the former Gamecock will be joining the Indiana Fever.<\/p>\n

With the Fever, Harris will reunite with USC teammate Aliyah Boston. Following a run to the WNBA Playoffs\u2019 semifinals last summer, the Fever expect to be a major contender again in 2026.<\/p>\n

Harris spent four seasons across two stints with the Dallas Wings, including 2025, though she missed a significant portion of the year with a knee injury. She also played two years with the Connecticut Sun. <\/p>\n

In 2023 with the Sun, Harris led the WNBA in three-point shooting, hitting 46.4% of her outside shot attempts. She shot 45.5% from the arc during limited action in 2025 before her season-ending knee injury.<\/p>\n

During her South Carolina playing days, Harris became one of the greatest Gamecocks to lace \u2019em up in Colonial Life Arena. Her long list of accolades includes All-American honors, three years of All-SEC selections, and an SEC All-Freshman selection. Harris also won the Dawn Staley Award and was a finalist for two National Player of the Year honors.<\/p>\n

No. 52 is South Carolina\u2019s all-time leader in assists and assist-to-turnover ratio. She won a national championship, two SEC regular-season titles, and three SEC Tournament championships with the Gamecocks.<\/p>\n

Following her excellent collegiate playing career, Harris earned a first-round selection from the Dallas Wings in the 2020 WNBA Draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"South Carolina women\u2019s basketball alum Ty Harris has signed a new WNBA contract.
