Fever fans cheer Stephanie White as Caitlin Clark and Indiana continue surge after recent tumult
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Stephanie White was greeted by cheers instead of boos. And the Indiana Fever and their fans had plenty of reasons to be happy before the night was over.…
Indianapolis, Aug. 15, 2026 — In a night of joy rather than discord, Indianapolis Fever head coach Stephanie White received a warm reception from her fans, marking a turnaround from previous criticism. The Fever triumphed over the Dallas Wings with a score of 98-87, thanks in part to Caitlin Clark's impressive performance. Clark netted 29 points and dished out 10 assists in a thrilling contest against fellow No. 1 overall selection Paige Bueckers.
This victory came after White had faced backlash for her handling of a controversial foul call she deemed "egregious" against Chicago's DiJonai Carrington on Indiana's Sophie Cunningham. Despite this, the Fever rallied around their coach and displayed a united front, lifting each other up as they secured their third consecutive win.
White expressed her gratitude to her team and staff, emphasizing the bonds of camaraderie that matter most in their locker room.
