What happened: Indya Nivar signed a player development contract on Wednesday to remain with her current organization. The agreement comes one day after the guard was waived from the active roster. Forward Amy Okonkwo was also waived as part of the related roster adjustments.

Why it matters: The transaction allows the front office to retain their 2026 second-round draft pick while maneuvering midseason roster constraints. Shifting Nivar to a developmental role maintains her connection to the club while clearing an active roster spot.

What to watch: The organization will monitor her progress in the developmental role while evaluating options for the open roster spot.
