Stephanie White makes strong statement.
Fever Coach Stephanie White Sends Strong Message on Angel Reese originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Indiana Fever recently defeated the Chicago Sky 93-78, earning a victory over their rivals despite Caitlin Clark being sidelined.
Clark has been out for quite some time and has missed a large portion of her second season in the WNBA due to a string of injuries.
Another WNBA star who has dealt with a recent setback is Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese. The 23-year-old Sky star was ruled out against the Fever because of a back injury.
Before the Fever-Sky contest, Indiana coach Stephanie White spoke on the absence of Reese. During her conversation with the media, White labeled Reese as the best rebounder in the WNBA.
"We know that she is the best rebounder in this league," White said. "The way they use her in the point-forward position sometimes creates some challenges."
