The 2024 WNBA season is off to a difficult start for the Indiana Fever, who have lost their first three games. In comparison, Caitlin Clark’s final year at Iowa, when she only suffered five losses overall, stands in sharp contrast to this performance.
Even though the team was having trouble, Caitlin Clark performed far better in the last game than she had in the first several. But basketball is a team sport by nature, and it’s clear that Clark’s teammates haven’t been living up to the mark. Christie Sides, the team’s head coach, and Clark have both expressed alarm over this.
Coach Christie Sides addressed the Fever’s recurring problems in a recent press conference, blaming the team’s defeats on the players’ lack of mental toughness. Both Clark and Sides showed signs of evident frustration during the Fever’s game against the New York Liberty, echoing this viewpoint.
