The Indiana Fever announced on Sunday the firing of head coach Christie Sides after two seasons with the team. Despite leading the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016 during Caitlin Clark's historic rookie year, Sides was relieved of her duties. The move contributes to a significant shift in the WNBA coaching landscape, with six teams—including the Atlanta Dream, Washington Mystics, Chicago Sky, Los Angeles Sparks, and Dallas Wings—now seeking new head coaches. Speculation has arisen about potential replacements, including former Fever coach Stephanie White.
