A recent photo of Caitlin Clark and Christie Sides is blowing up online. Clark was seen shushing Sides as the Indiana Fever head coach looked to be making an emphatic gesture at the rookie.

Many fans have shared the post, with comments like “Added to the folder” and “Shut up Christie Sides.” It seemed to have caught traction given fans’ disapproval of Sides, constantly throwing shade at her development of Clark and management of lineups.

Aside from the rough start for the Fever, holding a 2-9 record at the beginning of the 2024 season, the road has gotten smoother as of late.

It’s clear that after a lengthy break from the first few weeks of the season, Clark is getting more comfortable in the professional atmosphere, and her relationship with Fever players and coaches has improved.

Indiana Fever head coach Christie Sides talks to Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) during a timeout Tuesday, May 28, 2024, during the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The Los Angeles Sparks defeated the Indiana Fever, 88-82.

The rookie’s gesture toward Sides in the photo was likely playful. It shows the light-hearted fun Indiana has displayed in practice. Throughout the past few weeks, it seems the weight of all the pressure around the Fever and Clark has been taken off their shoulders.

Indiana will have a chance to extend their four-game win streak on Sunday as they head to Chicago to face Angel Reese and the Sky.
