Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White watches the action Tuesday, June 3, 2025, during a game between the Indiana Fever and the Washington Mystics at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White missed practice for personal reasons on Friday and her status for Saturday’s road game against the Chicago Sky is unclear.
White didn’t travel with the team on Friday. It’s feasible she could travel to Chicago on her own on Saturday.
Assistant coach Austin Kelly will serve as head coach Saturday if White misses the game.
It is the first season of White’s second stint as Indiana’s head coach. She led the Fever from 2015-16 and returned after spending the past two seasons coaching the Connecticut Sun.
Games between the Fever and Sky have had a charged atmosphere due to the rivalry between Indiana’s Caitlin Clark (Iowa) and Chicago’s Angel Reese (LSU) that goes back to college. However, Clark will miss Saturday’s game with a quadriceps injury.
