Indiana Fever fires coach Christie Sides as Stephanie White emerges as top candidate

The Indiana Fever have fired coach Christie Sides after two seasons, during which she had a 33-47 record. This decision follows the team's return to the postseason for the first time since 2016, aided by Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark. Stephanie White is expected to be the Fever's next coach, although no official announcement has been made. White, who has a history with the franchise, is seen as a strong candidate due to her connections and the opportunity to coach top players. The Fever's move leaves the Chicago Sky searching for a new coach. General manager Jeff Pagliocca is exploring various candidates but has not set a timeline for hiring someone before the expansion draft on December 6.
