The Indiana Fever<\/a> lost another player in WNBA<\/a> free agency. This team has made a lot of moves by re-signing key players and also adding new faces to the mix. Along with these developments come the inevitable loss of some players<\/a> who have decided to take their talents elsewhere.<\/p>\n

This includes 5-foot-8 guard Odyssey Sims, who has signed a one-year deal<\/a> with the Dallas Wings.<\/p>\n

Sims parts ways with the Fever after one season with the team. She signed with Indiana as a mid-season recruit in 2025 amid the team\u2019s myriad of injuries. The one-time All-Star played 12 games in the regular season, averaging 10.3 points, 18 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 26.4 minutes.<\/p>\n

Sims also started all eight playoff games for Indiana last season. She put up 14.1 points, 4.4 assists and 1.4 steals and was a key cog for the Fever\u2019s postseason run. They defeated the Atlanta Dream in the first round before bowing out to the eventual champions, the Las Vegas Aces<\/a>, in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

The Fever took to social media to send a parting message to Sims on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Sims will now return to Dallas after suiting up for the Wings in 2023. She will be part of a backcourt rotation led by reigning Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers<\/a> and No. 1 overall pick Azzi Fudd.<\/p>\n

Sims and the Wings face the Fever on April 30 in a preseason game. Dallas will also open its 2026 campaign against Indiana on May 9 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. <\/p>\n
