Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White gives explanation on how to break Caitlin Clark out of first WNBA slump

For the first time in her professional career, Caitlin Clark is in the midst of a slump.

Last weekend, the 23-year-old dropped a 32-point masterpiece in her first game back from a left quad strain in a dominant showing against the defending champion New York Liberty.

That MVP-caliber of play has subsided in the last few games, with Clark struggling in losses against the expansion squad Golden State Valkyries and Las Vegas Aces to put the Indiana Fever on the wrong side of .500.

In both games, the physicality on the perimeter seemed to bother Clark and affect her shooting from beyond the arc.

Fever coach Stephanie White gave an interesting assessment of her superstar's stunning troubles.

During a recent postgame presser, White commented on Clark hitting just one of her last 17 three-point attempts across the previous three contests.

"I think the biggest thing we have to do as a staff is to get her better, higher quality looks," White said. "Every game plan is going to be to make her score inside the three-point line, and the different ways to do that. I'm not worried about Caitlin's shot—that'll be just fine."

As White alluded to in her quote, Clark needs to have some designed easier looks throughout the course of a game so the pressure isn't squarely on her shoulders.

This is a crucial summer for Clark's development as an offensive hub on a fringe title-contending team and her personal status as the face of the modern women's sports revolution.

Clark has a chance to regain her form on Tuesday against the Seattle Storm.
