Indiana Fever forward Natasha Howard‘s Florida State jersey was retired Sunday.
Howard wore No. 33 for the Seminoles from 2010-14, starting 127 games. She also holds heralded spots in program history:
- 1,811 points, fourth-most
- 1,046 rebounds, second
- 186 blocked shots, fourth
Howard’s scoring total was second when she left the program. She led FSU in career rebounds before Fever teammate Makalya Timpson (2021-25) grabbed more. The blocks were third most when Howard left, but Timpson has more.
The Fever selected Howard fifth overall in the 2014 WNBA Draft, and she played her first two seasons in Indiana. She returned in 2025 free agency, averaging 11.4 points and 6.6 rebounds for the league semifinalists.
“It’s amazing. It’s a blessing.”
