Former Indiana Fever Player Has Career Update Away From WNBA

Aerial Powers is preparing to suit up for Team USA again this October for the 2026 FIBA 3×3 AmeriCup. The 5-foot-11 guard last played in the WNBA for the Indiana Fever during the 2025 season.

Powers started that year with the Golden State Valkyries, playing two games for the team. She was then waived and picked up by the Fever, with whom she finished the rest of the season. The 10-year veteran averaged 7.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 16.7 minutes per game across both teams.

After the 2025 WNBA season, Powers joined Turkish club Çanakkale Belediyespor. She did not play in the WNBA in 2026.

In August 2026, she represented Team USA in three FIBA 3×3 tournaments. She suited up for the national team alongside Madison Scott, Mikayla Blakes and Taylor Bigby. However, the Americans failed to win any of the three tournaments, with their best finish coming in the semifinals.

Powers was chosen again to represent the nation in the upcoming FIBA 3×3 AmeriCup tournament in El Salvador. She will be joined by Aziaha James, Sydney Taylor and Flau’jae Johnson. The tournament will be from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1.

The 2019 WNBA champion shared an update on Team USA’s preparations for the tournament on her Instagram story. She posted a video of herself and her teammates at practice at what appears to be Georgetown University’s on-campus facility.

“Back at it 🏀,” she captioned her post.

The 2016 WNBA All-Rookie Team member competed in Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball this year. She played in 12 games and averaged 9.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists.

The 32-year-old veteran could pursue a WNBA return this offseason. For now, she will focus on helping Team USA bring home the gold medal.
