Caitlin Clark’s Return to the Court Is CRAZY — Bree Hall & Jillian Alleyne Cut in Fever Shake-Up!

The Indiana Fever’s preseason firestorm is already shaking up the WNBA, and Caitlin Clark is right at the heart of it. Following her explosive return to the court in the Fever’s commanding 108–44 win over the Brazil National Team on May 4, 2025, two players—Bree Hall and Jillian Alleyne—have been officially cut from the roster, signaling that major moves are underway in Indianapolis.

🔥 Caitlin Clark’s Momentum Sparks Urgency

Caitlin Clark’s performance in her unofficial WNBA debut was everything fans hoped for and more. Returning to her home court at Iowa’s Carver-Hawkeye Arena, she put on a show with 16 points—including a 36-foot three-pointer from the logo—plus six rebounds and five assists. Her ability to command the offense, stretch the floor, and energize the crowd is already changing the Fever’s culture.

It’s clear that Indiana is all-in on building a team around Clark’s skill set, and that means making tough roster decisions—even for players with notable college pedigrees.

🪓 Roster Cuts: Bree Hall & Jillian Alleyne Out

According to a report from SB Nation, the Fever waived:

Bree Hall: A 2025 second-round pick (20th overall) out of South Carolina, Hall had hoped to reunite her Gamecock chemistry with Aliyah Boston. Despite her championship pedigree, she couldn’t carve out a role in Indiana’s crowded guard rotation.
Jillian Alleyne: A seasoned forward with international experience, Alleyne was brought in on a training camp contract. Despite her strong rebounding and hustle, she’s now on the outside looking in as Indiana narrows its roster.

These moves bring Indiana’s roster down to 13 players, as teams must trim to 12 by the WNBA’s May 15 deadline.

📈 Who’s Still Fighting for a Spot?

The battle for the final roster slots is heating up. Players like:

Yvonne Ejim (32nd overall pick, Gonzaga),
Makayla Timpson (19th overall pick, Florida State),
and Jaelyn Brown (ex-Dallas Wings)

…are still in the mix, hoping to survive the final round of cuts. With Clark and other core players locking in major roles, versatility and defense could be the deciding factors.
