Indiana Fever Teammates Support Harris and Reflect on 2026 Season

Indiana Fever players Aliyah Boston and Lexie Hull have publicly supported injured teammate Tyasha Harris following Indiana's first-round playoff elimination in the 2026 WNBA season. Harris, who suffered a broken bone in her left leg during the regular-season finale against the Minnesota Lynx, missed the postseason after working her way back from a significant knee injury in 2025.

According to statistics reported by Yahoo Sports on October 20, Harris averaged 4.1 points, 1.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 39 games in 2026. Her injury interrupted a season she had hoped would mark a successful return to full health and allow her to finish the campaign alongside her teammates.

In a social media post following Indiana's playoff exit, Harris reflected on the difficult year and the opportunity to play for the franchise she had supported as a child.

"I was hoping this post would be about making it through my first surgery, fighting my way back, and being able to finish a healthy season. How surreal it was to play for hometown when I was a little kid in the stands cheering to now being on the court playing. Instead, God had a different plan for how this chapter would end," Harris wrote.

Despite the setback, Harris expressed gratitude for returning to basketball and the experiences she gained during the season.

"Still, I have so much to be thankful for. This season gave me memories I'll always carry with me, and I'm grateful I got the opportunity to get back out there and play the game I love again. I definitely wish I could had finished it alongside my team, but sometimes the journey doesn't go exactly how you pictured it," Harris wrote.

Hull and Boston joined other Fever players in responding to Harris's message. Their comments reflected the personal relationships developed during the season as Harris faces an uncertain recovery and professional future.

"Love you Ty," Hull wrote.

Boston also sent an encouraging message to her teammate.

"Moonlight babyy. Keep killin," Boston wrote.

Harris's next steps with Indiana remain uncertain. Yahoo Sports reported that the veteran guard is an unrestricted free agent, leaving her future with the franchise unresolved as she works toward recovery.

Indiana must also address other roster decisions during the offseason, including the futures of Sophie Cunningham and Kelsey Mitchell. Mitchell is entering free agency, while Caitlin Clark has publicly expressed her desire for Mitchell to remain with the team.

Hull, meanwhile, has a contract that secures her place in Indiana through 2027. Marca reported on October 15 that the franchise agreed to a two-season extension worth approximately $1.6 million.

Hull marked the completion of her fifth season with Indiana in a social media post that prompted emotional responses from teammates and fellow players.

"Half a decade with Indiana Fever," Hull wrote.

The post drew messages from several members of the basketball community, including Myisha Hines-Allen, who expressed how much she would miss Hull.

"I already miss you," Hines-Allen wrote.

Harris also responded to Hull's post with an affectionate message.

"Lexxxxxx," Harris wrote.

Kelsey Mitchell joined the exchange by using a familiar nickname for Hull.

"sexy lexi," Mitchell wrote.

Boston also praised Hull as she reflected on their time together in Indiana.

"I'm proud of you, sexyyyy lexiiii," Boston wrote.

According to Marca, Hull was selected sixth overall in the 2022 WNBA Draft and has spent her entire professional career with the Fever. During the 2026 season, she started 41 games and averaged 5.2 points and 3.0 rebounds in 18.2 minutes per game.

Indiana finished the regular season with a 28-16 record, earning sixth place in the standings. The Fever pushed the Las Vegas Aces to a decisive third game in their first-round playoff series before losing 94-83, ending their postseason campaign.

Boston also completed her fourth WNBA season with substantial contributions on both ends of the court. Sporting News reported on October 15 that the center averaged 16.1 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks per game while making 40.6% of her three-point attempts at an average of 1.1 made threes per game.

Boston's expanded perimeter shooting added another offensive option alongside Clark and Mitchell, while her rebounding and defensive production remained important to Indiana's lineup. The Fever now face offseason decisions involving roster depth, defense and the retention of key players as the organization prepares for its next campaign.
