"I didn’t play very well at Golden State" - Caitlin Clark admits frustration after struggling in Fever’s loss to Valkyries

Caitlin Clark reflected on her poor performance against the Golden State Valkyries. The Indiana Fever took on the Valkyries on Thursday, ending up with their sixth loss of the season. Golden State beat Clark and the Fever with an 88-77 finish.

Despite being the Fever's top star this season, Clark failed to deliver for her team. Caitlin acknowledged her lackluster performance and discussed how she plans on bouncing back.

"It's a 44-game season, I'm not going to play perfect for 44 games," Clark said. "I think that's where I really kind of sturggled last year at times. ... I didn’t play very well at Golden State, and to me, like, I wasn’t defeated after the game. Was I upset of the way my team performed? Absolutely. But, you know, that doesn’t define our season by any means.”

Clark also mentioned how well she performed against the Connecticut Sun. While she shot the ball well, to her, it's all just statistics. Clark mentioned how performances are bound to change, and people shouldn't expect her to always be on top of her game.
