Indiana Fever fire head coach Christie Sides after playoff return
The Indiana Fever have fired head coach Christie Sides after two seasons. This decision follows a playoff appearance in 2024, marking the end of an eight-year drought, but the team aims for further growth and championship contention. Sides had a record of 33-47 during her tenure. The Fever selected two No. 1 overall picks, Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark, both of whom achieved All-Star honors. Despite a strong finish in 2024, the team was eliminated in the playoffs. Indiana joins five other WNBA teams looking for new head coaches. The Fever's leadership is focused on maximizing talent and building a stronger team around Clark for the upcoming season.
