Caitlin Clark endured another tough outing during the Indiana Fever's 94-86 win over the Seattle Storm on Tuesday. Coming off back-to-back games where she shot a combined 1-for-17 from beyond the arc, Clark had hoped to bounce back, but her shooting woes only deepened.
For the first time in her WNBA career, Clark registered more turnovers than points. The Fever guard committed eight turnovers while managing just six points, missing all six of her 3-point attempts. While she dished out nine assists, her overall shooting remained inefficient, going just 3-for-13 from the field.
Her performance sparked a wave of backlash online, with social media users slamming the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year for what many called a careless and frustrating display.

A fan commented:
She is probably blaming her self, for the whole DB situation
Another fan commented:
She’s always struggled shooting against good defensive teams going back to last year
A user wrote:
Defenses just starting playing her to her right and it’s fu*king up her her whole rhythm
Another user wrote:
To be fair, DB was supposed to mentor her, so it kinda is like that.
