The Indiana Fever continue to ride a rollercoaster of a season under head coach Stephanie White.

White is currently in her first season as the head coach of the Fever, leading a talented group with stars like Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell.

Indiana has found success this season but has struggled to find a consistent edge, currently boasting a 6-7 record.

The Fever recently played the Las Vegas Aces, having suffered an 89-81 loss.

After the loss to the Aces, Stephanie White spoke with the media, sharing high praise for Las Vegas star A'ja Wilson.

"A’ja is one of the best players in the world," White said. "You know you’re not going to stop her. We just needed to make it difficult and I thought AB did. But A’ja did what great players do. They step up in the fourth quarter and that’s what she did."

Wilson finished the game against the Fever with 24 points, seven rebounds and two assists.

A'ja Wilson has widely been regarded as one of the best players in the WNBA for the past several seasons.

In her eighth season with the Las Vegas Aces, Wilson has posted 21.1 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.

During her time in Las Vegas, Wilson has led the Aces to two WNBA titles while being named a two-time MVP and a six-time All-Star.

As the Aces climb up the rankings, currently holding a 6-7 record, Stephanie White and the Indiana Fever will look to bounce back from their recent loss to the Las Vegas Aces.
