The Indiana Fever announced the dismissal of head coach Christie Sides after two seasons into her four-year contract. Despite leading the team to their first playoff appearance since 2016, Sides was relieved of her duties following a playoff sweep that ended the season. The season included Caitlin Clark's historic rookie year. This move makes the Fever the sixth WNBA team to make a coaching change this offseason, leaving half of the league's teams searching for new head coaches.
