White missed the game for personal reasons. "Head coach Steph White won't be at the Fever's game against the Chicago Sky on Saturday night, a team spokesperson confirmed to IndyStar on Saturday morning," Chloe Peterson reported. "White was not with the team on Friday during practice because of personal reasons, and her status was previously to be determined for Saturday's game."

The two worked together in 2023 and 2024, when White was leading the Connecticut Sun sideline, as well as during previous stops of their respective careers.

"Special moment for Austin Kelly." "Go inside the locker room as the team celebrates Austin Kelly getting the win as acting head coach tonight 🚿," the Fever added on their own X account as the caption of a video of Indiana players drenching Kelly. The Fever's victory came on the road by 27 points without the aid of Caitlin Clark, who has missed the last four contests due to a quad strain. Team doctors will reevaluate her over the weekend, which could potentially free up the star point guard to return against the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday, June 10.
