- She was drafted 11th overall by the Atlanta Dream in 2019 and traded to the Phoenix Mercury before the start of her rookie season.

What she's saying: "I feel like every single element for me … Indy checked off the boxes," Turner said on her decision to join the Fever.
- "I want to win a championship. And I feel like Indy presents the best opportunity for me to grow as a teammate. As a player. As a person," she said. "We're just all in and focused. We have the same goal in mind."
