Caitlin Clark defends Stephanie White, calls out fans for booing
With the noise penetrating their bubble, Caitlin Clark stepped up for her head coach, Stephanie White, on Tuesday.
In Indianapolis on August 11, 2026, Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White engaged in a pregame press conference to defend her player Sophie Cunningham after a hard foul in Saturday's win over the Sky. However, the criticism didn't stop there as the Fever experienced boos during pregame introductions when White was announced. Star guard Caitlin Clark stepped up in defense of her coach on the court and the podium postgame, emphasizing the importance of supporting one another and not allowing the negativity to tear the locker room apart.
Clark, who finished the game with 22 points and 10 assists, called out the fans who booed White, stating that it made her "a little sick." The Fever, now 11-4 in their last 15 games, are on a roll and moving up the standings, with their focus now on celebrating their own incredible basketball.
