Indiana Fever react to what Stephanie White said about Caitlin Clark

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White summed up Caitlin Clark’s heroics against the Washington Mystics Monday night perfectly.

Down one point with 4.3 seconds on the clock, White drew up a brilliant play. Clark got wide open on the baseline after a screen from Aliyah Boston. She caught a long cross-court inbounds pass from Sophie Cunningham. The 24-year-old kept her poise and buried a wide-open 31-footer with 1.4 seconds remaining. 

The dagger lifted the Fever to a 78-76 win at CareFirst Arena. Indiana improved to 6-5 on the season.

White had nothing but praise for her star player in the postgame press conference. The Fever reacted to the moment, sharing the interview across their social media accounts.

“Stephanie White said it best: ‘This is what Caitlin does,’” the Fever wrote.

Stephanie White’s full statement on Caitlin Clark’s incredible game-winner

Clark finished with a game-high 19 points. She went 4-of-10 from three-point range and added five assists, three rebounds, two steals and a block in 31 minutes. White made sure to give credit where it was due.

“This is what Caitlin does. She makes big shots, and she has big moments,” White said. “I think when you have a player like her, it’s very easy for people to just take it for granted and to think that everything that she does is always going to be easy and flawless and she’s just going to step up and she’s going to do it every time.”

White pointed out that Clark’s first career WNBA game-winner is a product of relentless hard work. The two-time All-Star overcame a multitude of injuries last season that limited her to just 13 games.

“It’s been a rough go over the last 18 to 24 months for her, and so she’s finding her way,” White added. “And every opportunity that she gets to hit a shot like that or to get a stop. I mean, she got a big defensive stop for us. It’s an opportunity to continue to feel more and more like herself and grow that confidence back.”

White made clear she expects more moments like this from Clark.

“Sometimes we take great players and certainly generational talent for granted,” the coach concluded. “And, you know what she did was incredible for us. She’s going to have many more moments like that. I know she is. And we needed this one tonight.”
