Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark’s shooting slump continued on Tuesday night.
After shooting just 1-of-17 from 3-point range in consecutive losses at Golden State and Las Vegas, Clark struggled through another icy shooting night from Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.
Clark misfired on all six of her 3-point tries at Seattle and finished just 3-of-13 from the floor overall. The 6-foot guard finished with a season-low six points.
Clark did register nine assists and three steals and the Fever won 94-86 over Seattle to move back to .500 on the season at 7-7. But, turnovers were also a problem as Clark finished with eight.
Indiana was led by forward Aliyah Boston’s 31 points on 13-of-18 shooting and guard Kelsey Mitchell’s 26 points on 8-of-14 shooting, including 5-of-7 3-pointers. Fever guard Lexie Hull and forward Damiris Dantas each finished in double-figures as well with 15 and 10 points, respectively.
It was a drama-laden day for Indiana as reports surfaced that two-time WNBA champion and six-time All-Star DeWanna Bonner isn’t planning to return to the Fever. Bonner was one of Indiana’s prized offseason signings on a one-year, $200,000 deal.
But, the 37-year-old veteran forward may be exiting Indiana after just nine games played and three starts. Bonner has missed each of the past five Fever games and is currently averaging 7.1 points and 3.8 rebounds on a career-worst 34.5% field goal shooting.
