"Two-time WNBA All-Star Caitlin Clark and Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White told reporters Monday they had moved beyond what appeared to be a sideline spat. On Tuesday, Fever guard Sophie Cunningham revealed the team's players and coaches also had a frank, “long” conversation intended to hash things out and get everyone back on the same page following back-to-back losses on the West Coast. “We had a team meeting (Monday) — a long meeting — and so hopefully we've kind of turned the page,” Cunningham said.
