Stephanie White walked off after her roughly two-minute statement ahead of Tuesday's contest with the New York Liberty.

Fever coach Stephanie White spoke out against what she called "an online community that's trying to create narratives" after some alleged she didn't defend Sophie Cunningham after she was flagrantly fouled by the Sky's DiJonai Carrington last week.

DiJonai Carrington says she never claimed that the assessment of a Flagrant 2 foul on her in a game vs. the Fever was the result of white privilege.

On Saturday, several newsworthy incidents came out of the Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky game, and one of them involved Caitlin Clark, who was initially poised to receive a suspension.

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever returned home on Tuesday evening to face Breanna Stewart and the New York Liberty at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Fever are coming off a wild 90-86 win over the Chicago Sky on Saturday, which improved their record to 20-12 on the 2026 WNBA season. Going into the game, Clark had recorded 1,589 points during career.

The Liberty suffered their most deflating loss of the season less than four weeks ago at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

About 3 ½ weeks ago, the Liberty got rocked by the Indiana Fever, who were playing on the second night of a back-to-back.
