Indiana Fever fire head coach Christie Sides after playoff appearance
The Indiana Fever have fired head coach Christie Sides after two seasons, despite making the playoffs for the first time since 2016. The team finished the 2024 season with a 20-20 record but was eliminated in the first round. Sides' departure follows a postseason sweep by the Connecticut Sun. The Fever will now seek a new head coach, general manager, and president as they prepare for the 2025 season. Caitlin Clark, the team's standout rookie and top draft pick, has been a focal point of speculation regarding the coaching change, though no official connection has been confirmed.
