Stephanie White returns to coach Indiana Fever, focusing on Caitlin Clark and WNBA expansion challenges.

Stephanie White has been appointed as the head coach of the Indiana Fever for the upcoming 2025 WNBA season. This marks her second tenure with the team, having previously guided the Fever to the WNBA Finals in 2015 and playoff appearances in 2016. White`s recent success includes coaching the Connecticut Sun, where she earned the Coach of the Year award in 2023 and led the team to impressive second-place finishes in the Eastern Conference for two consecutive years.

The Fever are looking to capitalize on the talent of Caitlin Clark, who was selected first overall in the 2024 WNBA draft. Clark had a standout rookie season, being named an All-Star, winning Rookie of the Year, and earning a spot on the first-team All-WNBA. The team`s focus will be on building around her exceptional skills as they aim for a more competitive season.

The WNBA is also experiencing significant expansion, with the Golden State Valkyries set to join in 2025, followed by the Toronto Tempo and a Portland team in 2026, and Cleveland likely by 2028. However, there are concerns among fans and players regarding the rapid pace of expansion, which could impact player salaries and the overall quality of talent in the league.

As the 2025 season approaches, anticipation builds for the Fever`s performance under White`s leadership and the integration of new teams into the league.

WNBA standings and Stephanie White are key highlights as the league gears up for an exciting season.
