Clark, the top overall draft pick, had played a key role in this lead, demonstrating her tremendous abilities on both ends of the floor. However, Coach Sides’ decision to rest Clark was detrimental. The Fever’s momentum faded immediately, allowing the Sparks to take control with an 11-0 run. By the time Clark returned to the floor, the damage had been done, and the Fever battled to regain their footing, eventually losing 88-82. This loss has infuriated fans, with many resorting to social media to express their displeasure and advocate for Sides’ resignation. “Caitlin Clark was playing lights out, and Sides benched her? “Unreal,” one fan moaned on X. Another said, “Christie Sides might be the worst professional basketball coach I’ve ever seen.”
