With the WNBA off-season heating up, everyone is looking to the next big trade. Caitlin Clark remains at the center of all headlines, but it‘s not only her team, the Fever, that’s in the spotlight. Indiana fans are making their own moves online to lure the latest Sun star who requested a trade. 

Veteran guard Marina Mabrey, who has proven to be an offensive powerhouse in the league, is following the current trend in Connecticut. From their head coach, Stephanie White, to Alyssa Thomas, it has been nothing short of a mass exodus within the team.

And MM is their sixth star looking for an out. This request comes in the wake of Mabrey’s recent transfer to the Sun last summer after a trade request from the Chicago Sky. Off the bench in 2024, Mabrey has averaged 14.4 points and 4.1 assists per game. Although she has played well, the Sun has declined to comment on her trade request.

But that didn’t mean the Indiana fanbase was going to stay quiet. Take a look at this user: “Indy welcomes you with open arms,” they wrote as if unofficially recruiting Marina on behalf of the team. It’s not exactly subtle. And, honestly, can you blame them? Indiana is building something special, and adding Mabrey would only boost their growing powerhouse.

Marina Mabrey, a 2019 national champion out of Notre Dame, has made a name for herself as a versatile offensive threat. She’s earned Sixth Player of the Year votes for each of the past three seasons, thanks to her scoring ability, playmaking, and clutch three-pointers.

Meanwhile, the Sun is in full rebuild mode. After losing stars like DeWanna Bonner, and Brionna Jones, they’ve brought in players like Tina Charles, Diamond DeShields, and Natasha Cloud. With a new head coach, Rachid Meziane, and a lot of roster changes, it’s clear things are heading in a new direction in Connecticut.

Mabrey’s $210,000 salary for 2025 only adds more intrigue to the situation. Maybe she’s looking for a bigger role, or maybe it’s just not the right fit. Either way, Fever fans are more than happy to dream up scenarios where Mabrey joins their squad.

Fever fans are all in for a Caitlin Clark-Marina Mabrey pairing

A fan chimed in with a good-natured, cheeky offer: “fever fries??”. Referring to McDonald’s famous fries, this tweet suggests that putting Mabrey on the roster would be as satisfying as a bag of fresh fries: unexpected, maybe, but totally worth it. It’s the kind of fan humor that keeps things light while still sending a message—We want you, Mabrey.

“Come to the Fever…the waters just fine,” another fan tweeted. A laid-back, the-grass-is-greener kind of vibe, this response is pure fun. The fan is suggesting that life in Indiana is exactly what Mabrey needs—a cool, easy transition to a team on the rise. It’s basically a “You belong here, trust us” nudge.

Straight to the point, this fan is taking matters into their own hands by tagging the Fever’s official account, “Yo @IndianaFever”. It’s almost like they’re elbowing the front office, saying, “Hey, are you seeing this? Let’s make it happen!”

Then, another fan tweeted, “Welcome to Zoobilation Miss Mabrey @mmabrey1,” showing some serious excitement about Marina Mabrey possibly joining the Fever. Now, this is a deep cut for true Fever fans. “Zoobilation” is a playful reference to a well-known event in Indianapolis, but here it doubles as a clever mash-up of “zoo” and “celebration,” signaling that fans are ready to party if Mabrey signs with the team. It’s all about creating a fun, energetic welcome—before she even steps on the court.

Fans are clearly all in, already envisioning Mabrey in that Fever jersey, alongside Caitlin Clark, ready to celebrate her arrival.
