Indiana Fever head coach Christie Sides appeared to blame Caitlin Clark after her team’s loss to the Connecticut Sun, pointing to the Fever’s defensive breakdowns when covering top scorers.
Clark, who plays for the Iowa Hawkeyes in college, was cited by Sides for the Fever’s inability to stop Sun star DeWanna Bonner.
The mention of Clark sparked some confusion, as she isn’t part of the WNBA yet, but Sides’ comments suggest that the Fever struggled with similar scoring threats in recent games. Sides emphasized the need for better defensive focus to prevent future losses against high-scoring opponents.
