Erica Wheeler pens heartfelt message for Seattle after leaving Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever: "Having the time of my life"

Veteran point guard Erica Wheeler appears to be enjoying her new chapter in Seattle. After spending the past two seasons with the Indiana Fever, where she became a fan favorite, especially as Caitlin Clark’s teammate last year, Wheeler signed with the Seattle Storm during the offseason.

It looks like the one-time WNBA All-Star made the right decision. On Tuesday, the 5-foot-7 guard declared that she’s having the time of her life.

"I am having the time of my life! Seattle you’re so good to me," Wheeler wrote on X.

Erica Wheeler has adapted seamlessly to life in Seattle, and it’s reflected in her performances on the court. The veteran guard has brought relentless energy to the Storm and her infectious personality, combined with her clutch play, has quickly made her a fan favorite in the city.

Wheeler and Gabby Williams have been instrumental in Seattle’s strong start to the season, propelling them to a 5-4 record. Wheeler is averaging 9.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, while shooting an efficient 49.3% from the field, including 42.1% from beyond the arc.

Indiana Fever fans show love to Erica Wheeler

Social media lit up with love from Indiana Fever fans after Erica Wheeler’s latest post on X. Supporters fondly reminisced about her time with the team, flooding the comments with heartfelt messages and expressing how much they miss seeing her in a Fever jersey.

Wheeler experienced a significant drop in playing time last season following the Fever’s selection of Caitlin Clark. After averaging 26.8 minutes per game in 2023, the veteran guard's minutes reduced to just 14.0. However, since joining the Storm this season, Wheeler is back to playing a larger role, averaging over 20 minutes per game.
