The Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White was largely disappointed by the team’s performances. She unabashedly called out players and said, “Yeah, I think some of our rotations defensively… we had some missed rotations. We had some poor closeouts and certainly securing defensive rebounds… we did not do a good job… Offensively, just continuing to work our spacing and our pacing… sometimes we were on top of one another.”

Despite veterans like Boston and Howard, rookies like DeWanna Bonner, and reserves like Lexi Hull giving their all at the Carver-Hawkeye arena, it wasn’t seemingly enough for White. Meanwhile, as someone looking to grab more wins and a strong overall poise on court, White was surprisingly happy with Clark’s performance. As the former overall number one pick turned heads, grabbed eyeballs, and made just enough points to propel the Fever to a victorious run, White compared her performance with that of her NBA counterpart.

Often called the ‘Stephen Curry of Women’s Basketball’, White referred to Clark’s Golden State Warriors counterpart and said, “That’s just who she is. I mean, nobody tells Steph Curry not to take good shots, right?” This statement from the HC determines her trust in the star player and comes in lieu of her shooting prowess after Sunday’s performance. Moreover, White has often praised Clark and her gameplay. With players like Luka Doncic and veteran LeBron James recognising Clark as one of the star players in the W, it is no wonder that Caitlin is indeed the rising star of NBA.
