The Indiana Fever have brought former South Carolina star Bree Hall back into the fold, signing her to a rest-of-season hardship contract on Thursday. It’s a familiar destination for Hall, who was originally drafted by Indiana before bouncing between the Fever and Golden State Valkyries this summer.
But don’t expect Hall to get too settled. This is already her fourth stint with two different WNBA teams in 2025, a journey that’s highlighted just how much value she brings as a reliable depth option.
Indiana’s roster has been ravaged by injuries, with Lexie Hull—sporting two black eyes—serving as the lone healthy wing. Meanwhile, hardship signing Chloe Bibby went down with a season-ending knee injury, creating another opening for Hall. With the Fever clinging to the league’s final playoff spot and just two games left before the regular season ends on September 11, Hall’s addition could prove pivotal.
Hall’s WNBA path has been full of twists. Drafted 20th overall in the second round by Indiana, she logged nine points in a preseason matchup against Brazil before being waived the next day. Golden State then scooped her up for two separate hardship contracts.
Her first stint with the Valkyries ran from June 18–30, when the team needed reinforcements during EuroBasket absences. Hall appeared in two of five games, including a final contest in front of her college coach Dawn Staley. She scored her first career basket—a runner—during her debut.
Golden State called her back on August 27 for a second stint amid another injury wave. Hall appeared in one of two games, logging five minutes against Washington before being waived September 1 to make room for Monique Billings, who had returned from injury.
The WNBA’s roster rules—which require teams to carry at least 11 players but no more than 12—leave room for players like Hall to step in on short notice.
Her college résumé speaks for itself: two national championships, four Final Fours, and the role of starter on South Carolina’s undefeated 2024 squad. Known as “Big Shot Breezy” for her clutch shooting and defensive grit, Hall’s Gamecock legacy is cemented.
She entered the WNBA as one of three South Carolina players drafted in 2025. Te-Hina Paopao, the first off the board, has already carved out a key role with Atlanta. Sania Feagin, taken later, is developing with Los Angeles. For Hall, the grind continues as she seizes every opportunity to prove she belongs.
