Stephanie White Stresses When Indiana Fever Are at Their Best After Mystics Win
The Indiana Fever improved to 3-4 on the 2025 WNBA season after their 85-76 victory over the Washington Mystics on June 3.
With star guard Caitlin Clark being sidelined for the past three games, the Fever have struggled to make up for her playmaking abilities. While they have enough scorers to beat teams without Clark, her generational passing talent has been sorely missed and is a big reason why the Fever had lost two straight games without her before Tuesday’s win.
But Indiana emphasized passing against the Mystics, and their 21 assists compared to Washington’s 12 seemed to be the biggest difference maker.
Fever head coach Stephanie White spoke with the media after the game and praised her team’s passing prowess.
“Yeah, I mean, 21 assists on 30 made field goals is huge. That’s how we want to play. That’s how we have to play in order for us to be successful,” White said when asked about the ball movement, per the Fever’s YouTube account.
“We’ve got to get that ball moving. I think we had something like eight assists on 10 made field goals in the third quarter. That’s when we’re gonna be at our best. The ball is gonna be moving, multiple players are gonna be touching it, it finds the right shot on the floor,” White continued. “That was big time for us.”
With Caitlin Clark sure to be missing at least one more game, other players will have to step up in the passing front once again when the Fever face the Chicago Sky on Saturday.

Man shot by security guard in hospital emergency room waiting area in Gary, Indiana
A man’s family is demanding answers after he was shot by a security guard inside a hospital emergency room waiting area on Tuesday night in Gary, Indiana.
Methodist Northlake Hospital officials said, around midnight Tuesday night, its security staff responded quickly after a patient took out a gun. The hospital said he’d threatened to shoot himself or others.
The hospital commended the security guard who shot the man for “neutralizing the threat and helping ensure the safety of our patients and employees.”
Family members identified the man who was shot as Otis Brown. They said he is a kind father to a 12-year-old boy.
“Just a great person, a happy-go-lucky, always out there trying to do the right thing,” said his fiancée, Stacey Taylor.
Taylor said she was on a business trip when she got a call that Brown had been shot multiple times.
“Scared, uncertainty; you know, what story is right? You know, what happened?” she said.
After he was shot, Brown was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center for treatment.
Taylor said she had no idea why Brown went to Methodist Northlake Hospital in the first place. His family said he was trying to leave the hospital when the shooting happened, claiming that the hospital gave him his gun back after he was cleared to leave.
“We just want to get answers, just want to know what happened, particularly when people are defaming his name,” Taylor said.
She and Brown’s family hope the hospital has surveillance video footage that can help provide answers.
Gary police have not provided any details on the shooting. The Lake County Sheriff’s Department said it is investigating the shooting at the request of Gary police, but did not provide any further information.
