The 2025 WNBA season appears likely to be void of former IU women’s basketball stars.
Former Hoosiers Grace Berger and Mackenzie Holmes have both been waived this week ahead of the start of the season.
Berger was waived by the Minnesota Lynx on Wednesday. The Lynx claimed her off waivers in February after the Indiana Fever had let her go.
Berger played for OGM Ormanspor in the Turkish Women’s Basketball League this offseason. She was originally selected 7th overall in the 2023 WNBA Draft by the Fever and spent two seasons with that franchise, appearing in 48 games.
Meanwhile, the Seattle Storm announced Monday they waived Holmes. She was attempting to come back from a knee injury that kept her out for her rookie season last year. Holmes served as a graduate assistant at IU this past season during her rehab.
Holmes, who was selected in the third round of the 2024 draft by Seattle, signed with the team in February.
Holmes finished her career at IU as the program’s all-time leader with 2,350 points. She is also the all-time leader field goals made, field goal percentage and wins.
