I love Temi! She’s so graceful. Such a great leader and love her just overall aura. Hope she stays too!

I came to leave a comment but yours was way better than anything I was going to say

[@joeboyd4064]

TEMI is another class act for the Fever! She belongs on the Fever!!!

[@mikenicks7129]

Absolutely! I agree. I hope she stays and can play a bigger role next year! She is absolutely lovely and bad ass at the same time

[@mikenicks7129]

@@rflagg42I totally agree 😊

[@Theckonestroh]

Great bench player. I can't see them passing on her.

Fagbenle is another Class act on the Indiana Fever!

[@karencarlisle2887]

Please come back. Rest this offseason and heal. Will b ready to see u n a Fever uniform 2025!!!!!

[@vicster8178]

TEMI!! OMG I remember the first game against the Storm and Temi came in and BAM!! She brought the energy and reignited the FEVER! She's one of the few players that can do that. Positive, Tough, KInd, :Loyal, what an amazing Player. THANK YOU TEMI!

[@anneclaiborne]

Temi is a professional

[@noprisonplanet]

Indiana has a CLASS ACT SQUAD! But Temi, takes the cake, she's so self-assured and keeps the main thing, the main thing, just wants to give her all to her team towards a winning season! HAT OFF TO TEMI, COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!

[@colleenposadas8415]

She also has the most beautiful fits, floral skirts and her lovely smile❤

[@RGibson116]

Temi, I can appreciate your honesty and professionalism. If only more people had the wisdom that you shared, which is the "one for all and all for one" concept. The "team" benefits from every win ❤🙏!

[@cami-loo108]

Love Temi!! So fun to watch!!

[@churesragan6155]

Great answer. You want to win. You are there to support your team. God bless you, Temi.

[@mikefrench3800]

Awesome player and a gorgeous woman!!! Hope she stays with the group!

[@Kakki82]

Our enforcer, muscle and protector. African Queen!

Fantastic team player. She doesn't care about starting or to come off the beach. Her only goal is to WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BigBisk]

We love Temi in our house! We scream for her each game. Very underrated.

[@stavrosforever]

Temi is such a professional, a champion & a fun, great player to watch. Can't wait to see her again next year, and hopefully it will be a 100% healthy season for her! 🙏💙💛❤

[@tamaraglassman1102]

Thank you for a great season Temi! Loved watching your game! ♥️🏀🙌🏻🔥

[@dougcharles6845]

I am so proud of Temi. Temi shut down a woman asking about the Thomas comment. Temi said I'm not gonna comment. This woman is from the media. The disruptive fan from game 2 also had media credentials. Keep this team away from negative energy. Congratulations Temi on a incredible season and for avoiding negative energy, it just feeds hate.

[@joeboyd4064]

Facts!!

[@shf4592]

That reporter was only concerned with one thing, definitely had an agenda as she asked almost every Fever player about that. Glad Temi shut her down. Poor Kelsey & Erica are taking heat online for their answers because they didn’t say exactly what these people who are weaving a narrative that it’s only the Fever fans being racists want to hear. They said they didn’t condone it, but are taking heat for saying they locked out the noise to focus on basketball! Unbelievable!

[@artistamisto]

Temi graciously declines to speak about it and keeps the interview positive. We've already heard AT and others address the problem and we don't have to hear from everybody. Reporter trying to keep the W drama alive but TF politely snuffs out the attempt. There goes all your clicks, social media. Try to cope with the low numbers.

[@elmarko9051]

I'll be honest, Caitlin Clark brought me to this team in 2024. And because of that, I got to watch some really great women. Temi Fagbenle is an absolute jewel, glad I got to watch her play. If things work out, maybe she'll be in Indy with CC next year...

[@lindysmallwood2039]

Temi had a tough year but she hung in there. Continue to work a keeping your body healthy and improving your game. Love her leadership and watchful eye on the court for her players. Feisty and fun personality. Can’t wait to see you play next season. 🌺🌺🌺🩷🩷🩷

[@36Vernon]

I have so much respect for Temi throwing the racist question of the reporter back at her. 3:05

[@catherinedickerson9236]

Absolutely the best response to that question from Temi!

[@jimmyboy131]

Temi has become one of my favorite players! I'm glad she's back. Very classy, and an excellent on-court presence. What a great team this Fever squad is.

[@wendyjmaureen17]

Great season Temi. Was fun to watch you on The court playing your heart out. Thank you for the absolute professionalism you and your team showed throughout the season. This is what great teams look like, handle loses with grace, professional in interviews, and absolute growth throughout the season and treated the true fans with respect Can’t wait to see them and the other team members like Dallas who were ultimate professionals who showed off their amazing skills!

[@siimpleez]

Temi just seems like such a cool and down to earth person with a lot of confidence lol. Hope to see her back next season without injuries, she's so fun to watch play!

[@jonebize13]

Yeah dude. I said up above that she's wife material. I like the quality in a person, especially a chick, to be able to say no to things and speak her own mind. The fact that she didn't want to answer the question was cool. "A lot of things that I would rather keep personal." She's just a real person. Someone you can trust. Temi 2024

[@gillie60]

Temi and Caitlin jelled early. If not for her injuries they would also be like an ABC2 duo

[@combatmedic91-b76]

TEMI WE ARE PROUD OF YOU 👏 YOU'VE DONE SO MUCH THIS YEAR & YOUR WONDERFUL 🏆 THANK YOU YEAH 😊 💓 😊😅😊 BLESSINGS TO YOU! FEVER YEAH 😅

[@tabithamaxson4185]

Temi is my favorite!!! I’m so excited for next year for her!!! Please keep her!!!

[@MikC-hu6ld]

Temie is an inspirational player. Holding her hands high, in the last game. Showing the other team, she was there in front of them

[@debie91]

Thank you Temi for this season ❤❤❤

[@danielwalbridge1406]

That 3 ball of yours near the end of the 4th quarter, in the last game, was amazing and memorable! I was happy to see you start that game.

[@julieleber6131]

Temi…what a joy getting to watch you come back after your injuries. You just radiate joy! Thank you ❤

[@maranegrande3501]

[@clarkd1955]

Temi, come back, keep practicing, you have fans that want you to succeed on the Fever. Thank you for your contribution you have made to the Fever this year.

[@dtorus76]

Temi, Thank you! You’ve been a special and entertaining player. Hope we’ll be seeing you in 2025. ❤

[@varj7]

I like your answer to the starting question. For most, it’s an ego thing, being a starter. It takes a special type of person who puts the emphasis on winning first. You know what you bring to a team, and that confidence speaks volumes. It was fun watching you play this year, can’t wait for more!

[@SusanZiegler-jv6gb]

Oh Temi how I love you! Your maturity and leadership is unmatched. Please return. We need you. Good job this year! From a newbie w fan you got skills! Take care of your body. We need a healthy Temi! Love your accent btw :).

[@mattress2331]

Hope you get healthy on the off season! Thanks for working so hard!

[@VoiceOfMalume-mx8cd]

[@FoxterFiftyfive]

Temi, you are an amazing athelete... played hard, made a huge difference for the Fever. 💪Love your attitude about teamwork and winning. ❤

[@robertvaldez2924]

Temi! You are all class! ❤

[@GeeZig]

Thank you Temi !!

[@ericMT]

Temi is incredible. She refuses to lower herself to the low class behavior of some of the other players. If I had one word to describe Temi it would be class. And obviously she gives everything on the court. For the WIN, not for her stats or ego. What an example for the rest of the league.

[@PaulRounds-l7c]

Came to the fever as a clark fan and Temi was the first teammate I really liked. This interview, particularly about starting or not starting, just made me like her more.

[@lynbaker511]

God bless Temi, hope she stays injury free for next season, we need her especially for defence. Temi has a great spirit, everyone needs a Temi in their life

[@Redshirt1750]

Hope she comes back next season.

Temi you have some great dresses and style! Thank you for battling on the boards and running on the breaks. Wish you would have been healthier this season, the team certainly needed you. Enjoy the time off and I look forward to having you back next season.

[@richardlowe8062]

I feel like Temi could be the difference maker on this team next year. She plays with heart and has the toughness this team needs. Defense is good just needs to make a few more points a game.

[@DeeMillerDoucet]

❤❤❤❤ the playoff impressive play! Glad you are back.

What a beautiful woman inside and out! Work out well this off season and come back strong for the title winning push next year as you will be needed to anchor this young team! Blessings 🏀

Temi is a rock and they need to do whatever to keep her. Solid, wise, no drama, no bullshit and talented beyond the beyond.

[@Locutus.Borg.]

Well done Temi. A true team player who made a significant contribution to the Fever's success this season. I hope your wish for more WINS comes true next season, hopefully accompanied by more on court minutes as well.

[@calvinhilton7069]

That is why I like Temi....."i don't care if I start, I don't care if I come off the bench....I care to WIN"

[@kyleelsbernd7566]

Great non answer re: Alyssa Thomas comments. Don’t even dignify.

[@Redridge07]

@kyleelsbernd7566 That is not what is happening here. Lots of the Fever fans MAGA so racism is baked in. Temi doesn't address it because it's her home fans. Likely not smart to poo poo on your own fans.

Thank you for your team building behavior. I appreciate your modeling hard working behavior and playing with heart.

[@bobuncle8704]

This is so real. So many of the players just want to go play ball. So, so much of all this animosity in the league is the press/videographers creating mountains out of molehills. Caitlin, herself, said the same thing. Pointing to the press, she said, it’s something to you guys, we just want to play ball.

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Love Temi! She was so fierce and assertive on defense -- so tenacious! Love her and hope we see her next year.

[@mikenicks7129]

Temi is a consummate professional! Nothing but class and she deserves to be rewarded! I love her!

[@remproperties3560]

So professional! Love Temi!

[@Kal_El_08]

Good one, Temi. You should not dignify Thomas' racist comments.

[@TorEtCetera]

Thomas had racism hurled at HER, not the other way around. What are you talking about?

[@utrips4free]

Temi, I am so glad youre with the Fever. Youre very good athletically. You were always hustling and always exciting to watch. You've been dependable. Your intense desire to win really shows. You have great defense against the bigs and hard to keep up with. You ran the floor for many passes from Caitlin. It was pure joy watching this team come "together" to pull off heroic comeback moments. You played an important role in this team making the playoffs. We're all hurting from the last defeat but the playoff experience was so valuable. I will remember this 2024 season as a prelude to more fun, intense, high Fever pitched, wonderful, magical, electrical, miraculous, times to come and I'm gonna be right there cheering for you. Fever Forever. ❤

[@paulchez5102]

We missed you during the injuries! We needed you. You are an excellent fit to the Caitlin Clark pace of the Fever!!

[@douglashayes3167]

Total class!!!

[@serafinobueti7154]

Temi's the Bomb! Look how well that game 2 started off with her in the lineup. Imagine that every game, as she and CC, AB, KM, and LH play more together and get in a groove. Even when Temi's not scoring, she knows how to execute the fundamentals and facilitate ball movement. Her D speaks for itself. Not to mention she runs like a gazelle. Off the court, total class, professionalism, elegance and certainly best dressed player in the league. Please stay with the Fever!

[@jennx917]

Love your game and was screaming at my TV to have you in the games more. Hope to see more of you next season.

[@LornaRobertson-q6f]

She’s definitely one of my favorite players. I absolutely love how “smooth” she plays. She is just a very beautiful player

[@Mekinhumbel]

Kudos to you Temi. "I'm not gonna speak on that". Good on you. Nuff said. Clowns are clowns. Don't give them the spotlight. It's about the game. I'm gonna clock that response as your final 3 of a great season.

Temiiiii man you saved us so many times😮‍💨I was so glad when u got back healthy, the way u sprint the floor, the way u rebound and get to the boards, put backs, lay ups, the way u not letting no player fck with your teammates, you are a well rounded player the way u backed bounced from your injury is crazy, next season stay dangerous Temi we goin all the way😈🔥🏆

[@mikenicks7129]

I absolutely LOVE Temi! Please Fever make sure you keep her!!!

[@BBQ1953]

Great comment from Temi about the most important thing is the win; not how many minutes she’s on the court. THAT is the hallmark of a mature, team-first player. Super smart approach to her job and talent.

[@valeriecaraotta7788]

Temi, The inner fire that burns within you to be better will serve as a catalyst in your off season to perfect your shots under heavy guarding and heavy fatigue. While getting back in court shape took some time, I know you will begin next season with a bang from the start. I am just of course a fan but do think that when your confidence continues to grow that you will blossom in shot percentage, rebounds, and create chaos for the opponents, whether you start or come off the bench. Sometimes hard long injuries can extra motivate one to work even harder to emerge better than ever. You will be a good key to the Fever’s dynamics next year and can’t wait to watch you play. I know as you get older as an athlete, making the most of practice is key where more may not be better but funneling in on aspects in order to recover well and remain healthy. Best wishes.
