espn.com —
The Indiana Fever fired head coach Christie Sides on Sunday, following a playoff return after a seven-year absence. This move leaves six WNBA teams without a head coach for the upcoming season, amid a wave of coaching changes across the league. Sides led the Fever to a 20-20 record this season, but the organization is seeking a new direction under returning president Kelly Krauskopf and new general manager Amber Cox. The Fever aim to maximize the potential of stars Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston. This offseason has seen significant coaching turnover in the WNBA, with multiple teams making changes. The Fever's new hire will be crucial for developing their young talent and establishing a stable coaching environment moving forward.
