Stephanie White had a strong message after Caitlin Clark’s game-winner

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White is clearly past a recent issue with Caitlin Clark.

White praised the star Fever point guard following Indiana’s thrilling 78-76 win over the Washington Mystics at CareFirst Arena in Washington, D.C., on Monday, underscoring Clark’s ability to deliver when the team needed her the most.

“I don’t know [if] the noise is ever going to be quiet. This is what Caitlin does. She makes big shots and she has big moments. When you have a player like her, it’s very easy for people to just take it for granted,” White said of Clark during the postgame press conference. 

Clark made a clutch game-winning 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds left in the fourth quarter against the Mystics, making up for her two missed free throws with 36 seconds remaining in regulation. 

White doubled down on the value that Clark brings to the Fever.

“Sometimes we take great players, generational talent for granted. What she did was incredible for us. She’s going to have many more moments like that. I know she is. We needed this one tonight,” added White.
