“, We have faced adverseness. There is no doubt. But we have also developed through it and we have talked about it from day one – no matter what comes to us – and every team of the league has suffered any kind of adversity,” Stephanie White, head coach of fever, said after the game.
“We have stopped talking about the continuity of construction and we have started doing this. We have understood that every day we are going to see the best shots of opponents and we are ready for it. And then we think I think we think we have some types of dogs, okay?
White said the team is looking for “reset” WNBA The all-star break which will be hosted by Indiana on Friday. Clarke is due to competing in the 3-point competition, with Eioncu, and a captain was named in Saturday’s all-star game.

The fever coach says that the all-star game appearance of Ketlene Clarke is shown in the air as the team focuses on ‘long-term’ health
But his latest shock has raised questions about Clarke’s availability for the weekend.
“There is no discussion about this weekend yet,” White told reporters before the game. “Imaging was done and obviously, we are excluding him tonight, but there is no discussion beyond tonight.”
Clarke is dealing with his second back injury of the year. White said she does not believe that Clarke’s latest injury, which was persisted in the last minutes of the victory of Tuesday night, is similar to his previous injury. Clarke’s injury has also missed five games in the Clarke season.
“I am not really sure that it is a different type of injury once again. I know that when you are working with the waist and quad and hamstrings and all those things, then all kinds of all kinds are tied together and it’s not just the just one thing.”
