Caitlin Clark absolutely erupted for a career-high 45 points against our Seattle Storm on Friday night, and she did it in a wild 29 minutes of action. The Indiana Fever phenom was on fire, even while operating under a playing time restriction.
Clark’s Unbelievable Line Against the Emerald City
She wasn’t just scoring either. Clark shot an absurd 11 for 18 from the field, including a red-hot 6 for 10 from 3-point range. And when she got to the line? Practically automatic, draining 17 of 19 free throws. She wasn’t just a scorer though, she dished out 10 assists, grabbed four steals, pulled down two rebounds, and even swatted away two blocks. Our Storm players like Flau’jae Johnson, Jordan Horston, Jade Melbourne, Natisha Hiedeman, and Katie Lou Samuelson definitely got a full dose of what this kid can do. It’s a performance that makes you wonder what she’d do with a full game without restrictions.
What’s Next for the Fever After That Storm
The Fever (15-10) are back on the court tonight, playing the second half of a back-to-back as they welcome the New York Liberty (13-11) to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The good news for Fever fans, and bad news for the Liberty, is that Clark is officially upgraded to available for tonight’s game, despite that back concern. Center Aliyah Boston, who had a lower right leg issue, is also available. Our Storm saw the full force of what a healthy, albeit restricted, Clark can do. Tonight, the Liberty get their turn, and we’ll be watching to see if Clark can follow up her historic night with another dominant performance.
