Open Extended ReactionsSAN FRANCISCO -- Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White won't be with the team as it faces the Golden State Valkyries on Thursday night as she tends to a personal matter, the team said. Assistant coach Austin Kelly will serve as acting head coach. Kelly, who has worked with White since their days with the Connecticut Sun, also assumed head coaching duties on June 7. In her first season with the Fever, White led Indiana to a 6-5 start and to the Commissioner's Cup finals. "We're just trying to manage everything within the game and then we're going to put a lot on them to get treatment in between games," Kelly told ESPN.
