Alabama guard Jessica Timmons was selected by the Indiana Fever with the 40th pick in the 2026 WNBA draft held Monday night.
“We are so proud of [Timmons],” former head coach Kristy Curry, now at South Florida, said on X. “Every bit of this moment she deserves!”
The Charlotte, North Carolina native became the 12th player in Crimson Tide program history to be picked in the WNBA draft, and her selection makes this the first time Alabama has seen players taken in back-to-back drafts. Last year, guards Sarah Ashlee Barker, Aaliyah Nye and Zaay Green were selected.
Timmons departs from a three-year stretch in Tuscaloosa in which she finished just shy of joining the 1,000-point club. She led the 2025-26 Crimson Tide in total scoring with 571 points — good enough for the seventh-best scoring season in team history — and averaged 16.3 points per game. Her 34 points against Florida in February tied her for fifth all-time for Alabama. Chloe Peterson of IndyStar called Timmons the “bonafide leader” of the 2025 Crimson Tide team.
For her efforts, she was recognized with a spot on the All-SEC second team this season. She continued the Crimson Tide’s four-year-long streak of having players named to an All-SEC team.
Timmons joins a Fever team that just went 24-20 and lost in the second round but only got 13 games out of its star guard, Caitlin Clark. She will have a quick turnaround before playing again — Alabama lost in the NCAA Tournament on March 24, and Indiana will begin playing preseason games on April 25.
The WNBA regular season begins on May 9 for the Fever, and the team will host the Dallas Wings at 12 p.m. CT.
