Looks like Stephanie White is all in on Ary McDonald and the fans are buzzing. Guys, I had to come back with another video because this story isn’t over. Fans are demanding Brie Turner be let go and I can’t say I blame them. There’s been tension with Turner from the start and now Ary McDonald’s performance has everyone talking.

Ary stepped up big time in her debut, showing exactly what the Fever needed, someone who could come in and make an immediate impact. She may have only had seven points, five assists, and three steals, but her basketball IQ was on display. She forced turnovers, pushed the pace, and distributed the ball like a seasoned pro.

It was clear she fit right into the team and brought a new energy to the game. We got the win, and while it wasn’t pretty, a win is a win. Kelsey Mitchell was on fire and the whole team showed up. We saw some impressive teamwork, but let’s talk about the fourth quarter. Stephanie White almost blew a 16-point lead by switching up the lineup.

That’s something we’ll dive into in another video because honestly, it could have cost them the game. Now, let’s talk about what Stephanie White said in her press conference. She praised Ary McDonald for her mindset. Ari was watching film on the plane, coming in prepared, hungry, and ready to play. White said, “That’s the point guard mentality.

Not everyone does that.” Ary was quick to adjust, and you could see it on the court. Stephanie also talked about Aliyah Boston, saying they need to get her more touches and be more intentional with passes. and Lexi Hall shared that the team’s goal was to win in five minute segments, focusing on each part of the game.

That approach seemed to work, and it was great to see the team stick together. Ari McDonald’s performance was a gamecher. She brought defensive intensity, made smart decisions, and contributed when the team needed her most. It was clear she’s hungry and ready to prove herself. And you could see it in her interview after the game.

Ari talked about staying ready, working hard, and being in survival mode. She knew she had to leave it all on the court and she did just that. She’s not only auditioning for the fever, but for her future in the league and I’m excited to see what’s next for her. So yeah, it’s going to be a big week for Ari McDonald.
