INDIANAPOLIS — The Fever have encountered outside criticism throughout the season, but they have handled it with grace. However, the noise over the weekend got through. After the Fever's win over the Liberty, coach Stephanie White was booed on the pregame introductions. Caitlin Clark, the team's superstar guard, stood by her coach in defense.
Clark acknowledged the team's triumph over the Liberty in their seventh consecutive win, then addressed the crowd that booed White. "It's tough," Clark said. "That's my head coach. I hated that our fans booed her before the game. That made me a little sick, to be honest." Despite the criticism, Clark emphasized that the team would continue to support White.
Clark finished with 22 points and 10 assists in the game, while Kelsey Mitchell led the team with 28 points. The Fever are currently 11-4 in their last 15 games and are close to securing the No. 3 seed. White emphasized that the league's top athletes deserve celebration, urging fans and the media to focus on their basketball skills.
