The spotlight may be firmly fixed on Caitlin Clark, but those inside the Indiana Fever camp know she’s only part of a much bigger picture.
As the 2025 WNBA season approaches, what’s unfolding in Indiana isn’t just the rise of a generational star-it’s the quiet construction of a team that’s already moving in unison. And at the center of it all is Stephanie White, orchestrating something far more substantial than hype.
How Caitlin Clark vs Paige Bueckers change the whole WNBA fan experience
In a league where team chemistry often proves more valuable than raw talent, White appears to have found her winning formula early.
The Fever’s core may only return a few familiar faces-Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston, Lexie Hull, Clark, and Damiris Dantas-but the offseason additions were no afterthought. Players like DeWanna Bonner, Natasha Howard, Sydney Colson, and Sophie Cunningham were brought in not just for skills, but for synergy.

The question was always whether this group of mostly new faces could gel fast enough to contend. It turns out they didn’t need much time at all.
From preseason practices to social media interactions, this team has shown signs of early cohesion. “And you built this team that has this great chemistry. They want to win coming out the gate and they support each other in every way,” said Ashley Nicole Moss on We Need To Talk. “You see all of them on social media. They’re just really getting along in addition to having all of these threats.”
Behind the smiles, White keeps her expectations sharp
Despite the viral TikToks and visible camaraderie, Coach Stephanie White remains grounded. She’s not fooled by friendly vibes alone-execution is what wins games, and she knows her squad isn’t there yet.
Last season’s biggest flaw was the lack of postseason experience among starters. That’s now been addressed. But White has her eyes on the finer details, especially after a shaky start to preseason. Even in victory over the Mystics, she wasn’t pleased.
“Sometimes we were on top of one another,” she said, critiquing her team’s spacing and movement. Shooting just 30.3% from the field didn’t help either, even if Boston chipped in solid defensive work with eight boards and three assists.
Game two offered signs of progress. Against Brazil, the offense clicked more smoothly. Clark, Mitchell, Bonner, and Howard were firing on all cylinders, and Boston became a two-way leader. The ball moved, the floor spacing improved-but White still wasn’t handing out praise lightly.
“You’ve got to go out of your way to build those [relationships],” Clark said, speaking to the importance of team accountability. “Because when you need to hold someone accountable, it has to come from a place of respect.” And that foundation is clearly forming.
Even when Clark sat out, the Fever found ways to win, with Sophie Cunningham leading the charge in overtime against the Mystics. That resilience is what White wants more of-not just chemistry, but consistency.
Indiana’s rebuild is no longer just about Caitlin Clark. It’s about a locker room that holds each other up, and a coach determined to make sure the highlight reels translate into playoff runs.
The ingredients are there, but for White and the Fever, the real work is just beginning.

Today’s best MLB pitcher strikeout props: Back Rockies starter against Padres at plus odds
Imagen Images Houston Astros starter Hunter Brown will try to continue his excellent start to the season when he takes the mound against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday at Daikin Park in Houston. With a win, Brown (5-1, 1.67 ERA) would become the fourth six-game winner in the majors. He will square off against Cincinnati righty Nick Martinez (1-3, 4.19). Sportsbooks have set Brown's total strikeout player prop at 6.5 (Over -145, Under +110), while Martinez's is 4.5 (Over +120, Under -155).

There are two pitcher strikeout player props that the model has rated at 5 stars, […]

Giants rookie Abdul Carter chooses jersey number after being denied permission to wear legends’ retired digits
Getty Images The saga with Abdul Carter and his jersey number is finally over -- for now. The New York Giants have officially released their jersey numbers for the rookies for the 2025 season, and Carter will wear No. 51 during rookie minicamp this weekend. All rookie numbers are subject to change, so Carter's number is not set in stone. Quarterback Jaxson Dart, taken 25th overall, will wear No. 6. Carter, the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, failed in his pursuit of acquiring Lawrence Taylor's No. 56 and Phil Simms' No. 11 -- both of which are retired by the Giants. Taylor shot down Carter's request to wear the number and bring it out of retirement. "I know he would love to wear that number, but hey, I think it's retired," Taylor said to the New York Post. "Get another […]
