Caitlin Clark falls hard after brutal screen by Breanna Stewart

Caitlin Clark has high expectations after her dominating run at the college level. But there is certainly a lot of difference between the NCAA and the WNBA. It was inevitable that the 22-year-old would get tested on every level in her rookie season. The veterans have given Clark a hard time ever since the beginning of the regular season.

On Friday, the Indiana Fever faced last year’s finalists, New York Liberty. During the first quarter, Caitlin Clark was running at the defensive end, and the star ran into Brenna Stewart‘s brutal screen. Clark immediately went to the floor with a hard fall. The moment quickly went viral on social media.

Clark gave her everything as she scored a team-high 22 points with six rebounds and eight assists in 34 minutes. This was her best performance so far for Fever, as she shot 52.9% from the field. The performance was certainly better than her previous outing against Liberty, but it was still not enough to get a win.

The Fever has lost two consecutive games against Liberty and their third of the season. Clark’s performance did not stand a chance in front of Liberty’s team effort. All the starters scored in double digits as Stewart led the pack with 24 points.

As Clark was selected as the first overall pick in the draft, fans had high expectations from the star. The Fever’s guard was anticipated to impact the WNBA greatly, but the star has struggled so far. The sold-out crowds in Clark’s jerseys were surprised by her underwhelming performances.

During the game against Liberty, Clark had to face criticism twice as she was tricked by Sabrina Ionescu. After that, her hard fall on Stewart’s screen also received many reactions from the netizens. Fans took to social media to react to the moment. Check out some of the reactions from X below.

Clark’s performance on Saturday was a sign that the star is finding her rhythm in the league. Clark has to get used to the physicality and intensity of the WNBA. Fans will certainly look forward to her improvement in the next game, as the Fever will face the Connecticut Sun again on Monday.
