Stephanie White Makes Indiana Fever Admission Without Caitlin Clark

Stephanie White and the Indiana Fever are having their best stretch of the 2025 WNBA season with their longest winning streak of three games. And they have done it without point guard Caitlin Clark.

On Saturday, White and the Fever will look for their 10th win of the year, hosting Dearica Hamby and the Los Angeles Sparks at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The Fever lost Clark to a groin injury during their June 24 win over the Seattle Storm. After dropping their next game, ironically against the Sparks, Indiana bounced back with a win over the Dallas Wings.

Then they went on to capture the Commissioner’s Cup championship by defeating the league-leading Minnesota Lynx. Finally, on Thursday, they dominated the Las Vegas Aces by 27.

And White seems to like what she has seen from her team without their All-Star captain.

Ahead of Saturday's game, White joined the media for a press conference. When asked about finding a team identity over the recent winning surge, White had a lot to say.

“We found a little bit more of an identity defensively," White said. "With this group, I think, you know, again, it goes back to our activity level. Our ability to be active, aware, and anticipate actions that are coming. Our execution. Being connected, and I think we are. I think we’re continuing offensively to move the ball a little bit better to find our spots individually, and I think that that’s helped us."

White finished by saying she doesn't know the final product of her team with Clark still out.

"I don’t know that we’re where we’re going to be because Caitlin hasn’t been on the floor," White added. "That's obviously a huge piece for us in what we do. I'm proud of this group and the way that they've been able to find that connectivity on both ends and really set the tone on the defensive end.”

Following the Sparks game, the Fever will be back in action on Wednesday, hosting the Golden State Valkyries.
