The Indiana Fever are facing a challenging start to the 2024 WNBA season, remaining winless after their first three games. This performance starkly contrasts with Caitlin Clark’s senior season at Iowa, where she experienced just five losses in total.

Despite the team’s struggles, Caitlin Clark showed significant improvement in the most recent game compared to the initial matches. However, basketball is inherently a team sport, and it’s evident that Clark’s teammates have not been meeting expectations. This has been a point of concern for both Clark and the team’s head coach, Christie Sides.

Thank you for watching

In a recent press conference, Coach Christie Sides addressed the Fever‘s ongoing issues, pointing to a lack of mental toughness among the players as a primary reason for their losses. This sentiment was echoed during the Fever‘s game against the New York Liberty, where both Clark and Sides displayed visible frustration.

Clark’s heated moment was captured on camera

The ESPN broadcast captured a telling moment during the game, where Clark was seen speaking to Sides with her mouth covered by a towel. Although the exact words were not audible, Sides’ response provided insight into their conversation.

“100%. 100%,” Sides responded. “We will. Give them time. Give them time, okay? Let’s go.” The interaction suggests that Clark expressed concerns about her teammates’ performance, and Sides reassured her that the team needs more time to improve. As the Fever continue their season, the development of team cohesion and mental resilience will be critical factors in turning their performance around.

BREAKING: Two Kansas City Chiefs Players Have Been Arrested

A Pair of Kansas City Chiefs offensive linemen were arrested in Johnson County, Kansas, on Thursday night.

Wanya Morris and Chukwuebuka Godrick, both 23, were taken into police custody for marijuana possession, which is a misdemeanor in Kansas.

Booking records show that the OLs were detained at the Johnson County Detention Center and released on Friday afternoon after posting a $2,500 bond.

Morris was drafted by the Chiefs in the third round last year. He made four starts as a rookie in place of an injured Donovan Smith, allowing two sacks and 27 pressures. He is tipped to lock down a starting role in the team’s offense next season.

Godrick, who hails from Lagos, Nigeria, joined the Chiefs as a designated International Pathway Player in 2023. A former basketball player, he hadn’t played an organized American Football game before the most recent preseason and had nearly given up on sports altogether.
