Stephanie White reveals where things stand with Caitlin Clark amid rumors

Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White on relationship with Caitlin Clark

White’s connection with the Fever’s cornerstone superstar has been pivotal to the team’s success. As of writing, the Fever are 4-2 and are in the midst of a three-game winning streak.

On Wednesday, White joined the “Query & Company” podcast for an interview. One of the questions she faced concerned how things stand between her and Clark. The veteran coach made it abundantly clear that there are no issues whatsoever.

“It’s great, it’s great,” White said of her relationship with Clark. “I have so much respect and admiration for her as a player, as a person, and the way that she handles herself. We’re very much alike in terms of our competitive fire, our competitive spirit, our perfectionism, so to speak, and our Type A personalities.

“I love going to work with her every day. I love that she loves to be coached and challenged and pushed. She wants to be the best, and you want to be surrounded by people who want to be the best.

“So she makes it easy to come to work and to get after it every day.”

White has doused cold water on any and all unsubstantiated rumors about her supposed beef with Clark. Whether or not her statement here shuts down all the hearsay from fans, however, is an altogether different matter.

Either way, the Fever will be looking to keep their foot on the gas in their next game. They return to action on Thursday for a road matchup against the Golden State Valkyries. Tipoff from Chase Center is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. ET.
