Caitlin Clark had an efficient night Sunday as the Indiana Fever picked up a victory over the Seattle Storm.
Clark scored 21 points on 5-of-10 shooting, making all nine of his free throw attempts and hitting two 3-pointers. It was the first time since September 19, 2024 that she made 10 or fewer field goal attempts – doing so against the Washington Mystics in 19 minutes of play where she was 2 of 5 from the field.

The WNBA star was asked about her performance against the Storm and apparently realized she didn’t need many shots for the team to win. She had 10 assists for the first time since July 13, 2025 against the Dallas Wings – one game before succumbing to an injury that cost her most of the 2025 season.
“No reason to pressure. Get my teammates involved,” she said, via The Athletic. “Take what the defense gives me. I think I did a good job getting to the line, so there’s probably no need to shoot a lot of shots. I mean, I only played 23 minutes, but I also got to the line nine times. … I think that’s what I can do better – really try to get to the line and free up points.
