Fever coach Stephanie White has launched a fiery defense of herself after Sophie Cunningham was hit by Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington. White stayed quiet initially but later spoke out, stating that the criticism against her was a fabricated narrative.

White’s Explanation

White explained that she didn’t see the play in real-time and thought it was called correctly. She also stated that the play was egregious and that she prioritizes her players’ success, health, and safety.

White’s response was seen as defensive, and some critics felt that she didn’t do enough to support Cunningham. However, White maintained that she always has her players’ backs and will continue to lead with love, grace, humility, and integrity.
