WNBA Fans Have Major Issue With Caitlin Clark’s Latest Performance

The Fever fell to 7-12 on the 2024 WNBA season and have dropped two straight games. The Storm moved to 11-6 on the year, good for second in the Western Conference standings.

In 38 minutes of action, Clark scored 15 points on 44.4% shooting to go along with six rebounds and seven assists. Loyd scored an astounding 34 points on 66.7% shooting.

Many WNBA fans had a major issue with Clark’s performance in the game. The former Iowa Hawkeyes star only had nine shot attempts, well below her season average. They took to social media to leave their complaints.

“Having Caitlin Clark attempt 9 shots in an entire basketball game while having others attempt 16, 11, and 10 is a fireable offense.”

“Caitlin having only 9 shots is criminal.”

“9 total shot attempts.”

“When your team takes 65 shots, and your best shooter (Caitlin Clark) only takes 9 of them, you aren’t putting your team in a position to win. Yep, talking to you Christie Sides.”

“Tough for her to do any more than she is right now with how the team is playing. Need to work to get her more quality looks, 9 shot attempts from a generational shooter won’t cut it.”

“Not shooting nearly enough.”

Many fans are blaming Fever coach Christie Sides for the lack of shots from Clark. It is worth noting that Indiana is 0-5 when Clark has 10 or less shot attempts. For someone who broke the record for most all-time points in the NCAA, this seems like an issue

Reese was the standout player, scoring a career-high 25 points and achieving her eighth double-double with 16 rebounds, extending her rookie record.

While Reese has gained some notoriety for a confrontation and comments aimed at Caitlin Clark, her talent and skill on the court are undeniable. At just 22 years old, Reese has a promising future ahead, both in her career and in the city of Chicago. Following the victory, Reese shared an Instagram story showing several motorcyclists performing tricks near her car, likely trying to catch her attention.

It’s clear that if Reese continues to perform at this level, there will be more videos like this, as she enjoys sharing her daily life on social media.

With her record-setting night of 25 points and 16 rebounds, Reese joined A’ja Wilson as the only rookies to achieve 25+ points and 15+ rebounds in a game. They are also the only two players this season with two games boasting these statistics.

 

Chicago’s next game is against the Las Vegas Aces and A’ja Wilson. The anticipated matchup between Wilson and Reese will be a classic rookie versus veteran showdown that every WNBA fan wants to see.

Reese’s recent performances suggest she will continue to increase her double-double record for a rookie, but she will face the reigning champions, who, with several days of rest and film study, will be looking to stop her. However, as the saying goes, “against talent, there is no remedy
