After the win over Dallas, head coach Stephanie White spoke on the return of Caitlin Clark.<\/p>\n

Clark has been back in the Fever lineup over the past three games after dealing with a groin injury that once had her sidelined for five straight games.<\/p>\n

White discussed Clark getting back in rhythm over the past several games. She mentioned that Clark is starting to feel more explosive and her offense has clearly helped the Fever improve.<\/p>\n

While Clark has always been known for her offensive success, White is challenging Clark to be a consistent contributor on the defensive end. She explained that Clark has to take more pride in accomplishing goals on the defensive end, and so far she’s done so.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can tell she\u2019s starting to feel a little bit better, more explosive,\u201d White said, per the Indiana Fever on YouTube<\/a>. \u201cHer anticipation is really good. She read the plays, she read the rotations. Did a really good job of getting a hand in the passing lane. Staying disciplined to tip it so she can go steal it. That\u2019s what it\u2019s going to take from her, consistently. She\u2019s got to be able to bring able to bring the offense and the defense on the other end of the floor\u2026 For us to accomplish the things that we want to accomplish she\u2019s got to take more pride in that and I think she\u2019s done that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout her second season in the WNBA, Caitlin Clark has averaged 1.7 steals and 0.6 blocks per game.<\/p>\n

She’s been quite active on the defensive end at times, but it seems consistency on that end of the floor is the main point of emphasis for Stephanie White.<\/p>\n
