South Carolina women’s basketball alumna Ty Harris is heading back to the WNBA, this time with one of the league’s most exciting rosters.
Harris has agreed to a deal with the Indiana Fever, according to a report from Indy Star Sports’ Chloe Peterson. The signing brings her back together with former USC teammate Aliyah Boston, rekindling a partnership that first flourished in Columbia.
The Fever enter the 2026 season with serious championship ambitions. After advancing to the semifinals of the WNBA Playoffs last summer, Indiana is widely regarded as one of the premier contenders in the league this year.
For Harris, the move represents a fresh start following a difficult 2025 campaign. She spent time across two separate stints with the Dallas Wings — four seasons in total — but a knee injury cut her most recent season short. Prior to her time in Dallas, Harris played two seasons with the Connecticut Sun, where she established herself as one of the most lethal perimeter shooters in the game.
Her marksmanship from beyond the arc remains one of her calling cards. In 2023 with the Sun, Harris led the entire WNBA in three-point shooting, connecting on 46.4 percent of her attempts from deep. Even in her injury-shortened 2025 season, she maintained a remarkable 45.5 percent clip from long range before her campaign ended prematurely.
Harris built the foundation for her professional success during a stellar collegiate career with the Gamecocks. She departs Columbia as one of the most decorated players in program history, earning All-American recognition, three All-SEC selections, and an SEC All-Freshman nod. She also claimed the prestigious Dawn Staley Award and was a finalist for National Player of the Year honors on two occasions.
Her fingerprints are all over the South Carolina record books. Wearing No. 52, Harris remains the program’s all-time leader in assists and assist-to-turnover ratio — a testament to her elite playmaking and ball security. During her time with the Gamecocks, she helped the program capture a national championship, two SEC regular-season titles, and three SEC Tournament crowns.
Her outstanding collegiate resume earned her a first-round selection by the Dallas Wings in the 2020 WNBA Draft, launching a professional career that now takes its next chapter in Indiana.
With Harris and Boston sharing the floor once more, Fever fans have plenty of reasons to be excited heading into the new season.
