WNBA fans’ fears for Caitlin Clark spark calls for Fever head coach to be FIRED just six games into season
Caitlin Clark has only been out of WNBA action for a week and the Indiana Fever domino effect of not having her in the lineup has fans’ fears leading to call for Stephanie White’s job.
Clark has a quad injury that the current timeline has her returning at the earliest next Saturday against the New York Liberty.
A premature return to the hardwood due to the Fever losing three straight, two with Clark out of the lineup, has led some Indiana fans to point the finger straight at White, looking for her to be fired just six games into the season.
White returned to the Fever this offseason after serving as the Connecticut Sun’s head coach, and has been affiliated previously with the organization as a player, assistant coach, and as the bench boss several years ago.
The rocky 2-4 start with expectations sky high, and issues keeping the team afloat without Clark, has put early season pressure on White most did not expect with a revamped Fever roster.
There is plenty of the WNBA season to go, but little time to waste for those wanting to see Clark and the Fever succeed.

The Fever have a 2-4 record just six games into White’s second tenure as Indiana’s bench bos
Her being absent is not why we are losing. Stephanie White need to step out of the way and let this team run the offense from the second half of last season. The coach is trash right now,’ one fan said on social media.
‘Fire Stephanie White,’ a second stated, not leaving their thoughts to the imagination.
‘White is not the answer as coach and (Kelsey) Mitchell steps back for a 3 on the final shot instead of going to the rim and possibly getting a foul,’ a third added.
‘I said from the beginning that coach doesn’t know what she is doing. It’s unbelievable that she doesn’t bring kk to play,’ a fourth concluded.

The Fever’s schedule does lighten a bit in the next week, with the Washington Mystics coming to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Tuesday before another game against Angel Reese and the the Chicago Sky four days later.
Should Clark not be able to go for either of those games, her return looks likely for June 10 on the road against the Atlanta Dream, who the WNBA sophomore helped defeat in Georgia earlier this season.
As of Saturday night, the Fever are the first team out of a playoff spot, within a game of the three teams directly in front of them – the Seattle Storm, Golden State Valkyries and the Mystics.
White has an ample opportunity on Tuesday night, with or without Clark, to silence those calling for her to lose her job early into the season.
