INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) \u2014 The Indiana Fever have dealt with a lot of distractions this season.<\/p>\n
On Saturday alone, Caitlin Clark picked up her eighth technical foul<\/a>, which would have caused her to miss a game. That technical has later been rescinded. Plus, Sky guard Dijonai Carrington<\/a> committed a flagrant 2 foul on Sophie Cunningham in transition, with Carrington\u2019s left arm making contact with Cunningham\u2019s face.<\/p>\n Despite all of the outside noise, the Fever have the best record in the Eastern Conference (20-12) and the fourth best record in the WNBA.<\/p>\n Fever head coach Stephanie White shared what her and the team have learned about trying to minimize the distractions and just focus on basketball.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re not going to ever minimize it,\u201d White said. \u201cNothing that any one of us does is ever going to please everyone all the time. I hope that the biggest thing that we learn is how to be responsive instead of reactive in certain situations. I think it\u2019s really easy, especially for young people or for those who aren\u2019t in it every day to react to everything that happens. It\u2019s also dangerous to react to everything that happens. I think just from a humanistic perspective and life lesson perspective, I think our group does a really good job of responding. I think our group does a really good job of pouring into one another, of keeping the main thing the main thing, of understanding that there are a lot of folks out there who want to divide us. That there are a lot of folks out there who want to create more challenges for us. In our locker room we do a really good job of keeping that outside the locker room and pulling for one another. You guys see it, the vibes are always pretty good in here. I\u2019m proud of them for that and I think outside of even just the sport and outside of the job it serves great life lessons for us as well.\u201d<\/p>\n The Fever are back in action on Tuesday at home against the New York Liberty. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) \u2014 The Indiana Fever have dealt with a lot of distractions this season.
