Caitlin Clark had an efficient Sunday night as the Indiana Fever earned a victory over the Seattle Storm.
Clark scored 21 points on 5-of-10 shooting, making all nine of his free throws and hitting two 3-pointers. It was the first time since September 19, 2024, that he had 10 or fewer field goal attempts, doing so against the Washington Mystics in 19 minutes of game action where he 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 to shoot much for the team to win. He recorded 10 assists for the first time since July 13, 2025, against the Dallas Wings, one game before suffering an injury that cost him most of the 2025 season.
“There’s no reason to push. Get my teammates involved,” he said via The Athletic. “Let’s take what the defense gives me. I thought I did a good job getting to the line, so there’s probably no need to shoot a ton of shots. I mean, I only played 23 minutes but I also got to the line nine times… I think that’s where I can do a better job: really trying to get to the line and free up points.”
