"Playing like she going through a divorce": WNBA fans blast Caitlin Clark as Fever guard continues to crumble amid cold streak

Caitlin Clark endured another tough outing during the Indiana Fever's 94-86 win over the Seattle Storm on Tuesday. Clark hoped to bounce back after shooting a combined 1-for-17 from beyond the arc in her last two games, but her 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 and going just 3-for-13 from the field. She did, however, dish out nine assists.

Her performance sparked a wave of criticism online, with social media users slamming the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year for what many called a careless and frustrating display.

"Caitlin Clark been playing like she going through a divorce," a fan said.

I swear she hasn’t improved at all from last year…at some point these turnovers can’t be excused

To be fair, DB was supposed to mentor her, so it kinda is like that.

Caitlin Clark talks about basketball joy amid recent slump

Ahead of the Indiana Fever’s clash with the Seattle Storm, Caitlin Clark opened up about what truly drives her on the court - the pure joy of the game. While she admitted that tough nights can be frustrating, Clark emphasized that her love for basketball and the happiness it brings keep her pushing forward.

"That’s when I’m at my best, when I'm smiling, when I'm having fun," Clark told reporters. "I'm a perfectionist and you wanna be really good every night and when you’re not that can frustrate you, but (joy) is why I still play."

The Fever are set to face the LA Sparks on Thursday in a highly anticipated home game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Clark will be determined to rediscover her electrifying form with the home crowd behind her.
