The suspension of Damiris Dantas' Indiana Fever contract is being lifted now that she's set to rejoin the team. Advertisement The 6-foot-4 center was away from the WNBA team for roughly two weeks, representing Brazil at the 2025 FIBA Women's AmeriCup in Santiago, Chile. The tournament ended on Sunday with Brazil taking part in the final, but unfortunately for Dantas and Co., they came up short in the gold medal game against a powerhouse United States side.

Dantas did all she could for Brazil, dropping a game-high 35 points on 11-of-19 shooting, eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and one triple in 40 minutes of play.

Indiana Fever Boss Issues Clear Statement After Major Roster Decision
Indiana Fever Boss Issues Clear Statement After Major Roster Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever made waves on Wednesday after it was announced that the team had decided to waive the services of six-time All-Star DeWanna Bonner after just nine games played. Advertisement Bonner, a two-time WNBA champion veteran, had been away from the team for personal reasons in their last five games, and it was revealed on Wednesday that she had parted ways with the Fever on a permanent basis. Bonner's departure paved the way for the return of guard Aari McDonald, who previously joined the team on a hardship contract earlier this month. The 5-foot-6 guard, however, had to be waived upon the return of Indiana's injured players. It was clear, though, that McDonald made a significant impact on the team during her brief run, so the Fever decided to sign her to a rest-of-season deal. Indiana Fever is keeping guard Aari McDonald until the rest of the Smith/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Indiana general manager Amber Cox released a statement following the team's decision to re-sign McDonald, shedding light on what made the guard a clear fit. Advertisement "From the moment she arrived in Indy, Aari was a clear fit with the style and mentality we are building here with the Fever," Cox said, via Michael Voepel of ESPN. "Though only here a few games, her impact as a playmaker and a defender was evident. We are very excited to welcome her back for the remainder of the season." McDonald is no star, but there's no denying that she brings a lot to the table for Indiana, particularly when it comes to her defensive intensity and her playmaking skills. In her three games with the Fever in June, McDonald averaged 11.0 points, 1.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.0 triples while logging 25.3 minutes per game.
