The Indiana Fever will be without coach Stephanie White for a second time in the team's last five games. Chloe Peterson of The Indianapolis Star reported that White will not be with the team for Thursday night's game against the Golden State Valkyries due to personal reasons.

No other specifics were given for White's absence for Thursday night's game. Assistant coach Austin Kelly will serve as acting head coach for the game. White also missed Indiana's game against the Chicago Sky on June 7 due to personal reasons. The Fever defeated the Sky 79-52.
