Indiana Fever fire coach Christie Sides after playoff appearance

espn.com — October 27, 2024 at 05:00 PM UTC

The Indiana Fever have fired head coach Christie Sides after two seasons, despite leading the team to its first playoff appearance since 2016. The Fever finished with a 33-47 record under Sides, including a 20-20 mark in 2024. Caitlin Clark, the 2024 No. 1 draft pick and rookie of the year, helped the Fever improve significantly after a rough start. The team had the best offensive rating in the league after the Olympic break, finishing strong before being eliminated in the playoffs. The Fever will now seek a new head coach, joining five other WNBA teams with coaching vacancies. The organization is also undergoing leadership changes, with a new general manager and president in place for the 2025 season.
