Fever Coach Stephanie White Challenges Caitlin Clark

The Indiana Fever have been rolling as of late, winning two straight games.

Indiana recently defeated Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings 102-83. Before the win over the Wings, the fever defeated Brittney Griner and the Atlanta Dream.

After the win over Dallas, head coach Stephanie White spoke on the return of Caitlin Clark.

Clark has been back in the Fever lineup over the past three games after dealing with a groin injury that once had her sidelined for five straight games.

White discussed Clark getting back in rhythm over the past several games. She mentioned that Clark is starting to feel more explosive and her offense has clearly helped the Fever improve.

While Clark has always been known for her offensive success, White is challenging Clark to be a consistent contributor on the defensive end. She explained that Clark has to take more pride in accomplishing goals on the defensive end, and so far she's done so.

“You can tell she’s starting to feel a little bit better, more explosive,” White said, per the Indiana Fever on YouTube. “Her anticipation is really good. She read the plays, she read the rotations. Did a really good job of getting a hand in the passing lane. Staying disciplined to tip it so she can go steal it. That’s what it’s going to take from her, consistently. She’s got to be able to bring able to bring the offense and the defense on the other end of the floor… For us to accomplish the things that we want to accomplish she’s got to take more pride in that and I think she’s done that.”
