Dakich Criticizes Indiana Fever Coach’s Response to GOP Letter

Sports analyst Dan Dakich has criticized Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White for her vague response to a GOP letter addressing the treatment of Caitlin Clark in the WNBA. The letter raises concerns about incidents that may involve racial motivations. Dakich questions why Coach White did not defend her player more strongly, as well as the league’s overall support, despite congressional interest.

On the court, the Indiana Fever continued their winning momentum with a decisive 123-88 victory over the Connecticut Sun, marking their third consecutive win. Caitlin Clark shone with 27 points and 11 assists, achieving another double-double effort just after being announced as an NBA 2K27 cover athlete. Her teammate, Kelsey Mitchell, contributed 23 points, setting a new franchise record for points in a game. Additionally, Aliyah Boston, the top pick from the 2023 WNBA Draft, added 22 points to the scoreboard.

The Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) is introduced before the match against the Connecticut Sun on July 22, 2026, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. The team scored a historic 70-46 lead by halftime, marking the biggest half in franchise history and recording the third-highest scoring game in league history without overtime. Monique Billings and Tyasha Harris each scored 12 points, while the team succeeded in 11 of 22 three-point attempts.

Caitlin Clark headed into the locker room with 21 points by half-time. Monique Billings made significant contributions, driving to the basket against the Sun. The Fever now look toward the All-Star weekend in Chicago, where Clark, Boston, and Mitchell will represent Indiana.

After this win, Indiana’s season record improved to 17-10. They lead the Eastern Conference standings and hold a narrow lead over Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Chantz Martin is a sports writer for Fox News Digital.
