The Fever currently sits in 5th place in the Eastern Conference (9th in the WNBA). On Sunday, the team lost 88-87 to the Chicago Sky, its direct rival, and the team’s coach identified a crucial reason for the poor performances.

Christie Sides, the Fever’s coach, addressed the media following this tough loss. She analyzed Clark’s performance specifically, asking her to be more selfish and stop passing the ball so much.

“I think sometimes she’s being a little too unselfish,” Sides said. “She had 13 assists the other night against Chicago… I think she turns down some shots. I’d like her to take some shots that when she comes off, she knows she has the green light.”
