Caitlin Clark’s shooting struggles continue as the Fever hang on in the playoff hunt
While Caitlin Clark has been key for the Indiana Fever, she has also been in one of the worst shooting slumps of her career for close to a month.
Since the Valkyries-Fever game on June 19, Clark has only made 26 of 88 field goal attempts, shooting 29.5%. She has been worse from beyond the arc, making just 6 of 42 attempts (14.3%).
Despite her struggles, the Fever have hung on and are sixth in the league. Kelsey Mitchell is averaging 19.2 points, while Aliyah Boston is putting up 16.2 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Both players have been key amid Clark’s struggles from the field.
Indiana head to TD Garden on Tuesday for the third Fever-Sun game of the 2025 WNBA season.
