Indiana Fever forward Damiris Dantas just made a food confession that has fans scratching their heads and laughing along.
In a fun Instagram post shared by the team, the Fever revealed quirky facts about Dantas. But one fact stood out: Dantas, affectionately called “DD,” said she loves eating pasta with beans. The post also listed her favorite candy as banana candy and fans had some hilarious things to say about it.
“What is banana candy? And pasta with beans? That is definitely pretty weird. Regardless, we love ya, DD!” one fan wrote.
Another joked, “Tell me more about pasta with beans.”
Someone else chimed in, “Nooo not banana candy. 😂. Love her game though.”
And the reactions didn’t stop there. “Love DD! She has to share the pasta & beans recipe,” one fan added.
“Girl what? Pasta with beans?” asked a confused user.
Another wrote, “Ok, DD what is banana candy? I haven't heard of that. Anyways, we love you and continue being great.”
Even though her food choices raised eyebrows, fans clearly adore Dantas, and with good reason, that too. The WNBA veteran has been a strong presence for the Fever this season, helping out on the court when stars like Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston face foul trouble or injuries.
“She’s got a lot of miles on,” said Fever head coach Stephanie White, explaining a recent rest day for Dantas. “[We’re] making sure she gets a little bit of rest… don’t want that to turn into anything.”

Damiris Dantas saw more playing time late in the season after recovering from injury. She made 39.4% of her 3-pointers.

Meanwhile, Clark commented on Dantas’ Instagram post a week ago, calling her “DD the goat,” showing respect and support for her teammate.
Weird food preferences or not, DD's unique charm and experience make her one of the most loved players in Indiana. And whether she's scoring buckets or talking about pasta and banana candy, fans are definitely paying attention.
