🏀⛹🏻‍♀️ Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever faced another setback in the 2024 WNBA season, losing to the Los Angeles Sparks 88-82. This defeat brings the Fever's record to 1-7. Despite the team's struggles, Clark had her best game yet, scoring 30 points, along with five rebounds, six assists, three blocks, and three steals. She also picked up her second technical foul of the season.
After the game, Fever head coach Christie Sides addressed the technical foul, subtly critiquing Clark. "We're spending too much time talking to the officials. We've got to leave that alone. We've got to just play our game and let them do their job and not put it in their hands. We shouldn't get technicals. Let me get the technicals," Sides said, as reported by Fever reporter Matthew Byrne.
In another exciting game on Tuesday, Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky hosted the Seattle Storm. The Sky aimed for their third victory to secure a winning record for the season. With 5:54 remaining in the final quarter, Reese showcased her skills with a powerful post-up move, scoring a right-handed hook shot while drawing a foul. She converted the and-one opportunity, helping her team towards a crucial win.
Caitlin Clark continues to show why she was the No. 1 overall pick. On Tuesday, she recorded a career-high 30 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 3 blocks. According to Stat Mamba, such a stat line has only been achieved three other times, making Clark the first rookie to do so. Currently, Clark is averaging 15.4 points, 6.3 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, leading her team in all three categories. The Fever will face the Seattle Storm on Thursday.
Rickea Jackson, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft from the University of Tennessee, is off to a strong start in her professional career. Averaging 9.8 points on 54.5% shooting and 2.4 rebounds in 23.2 minutes per game, Jackson has been impressive off the bench.
