She brings notice to her teammates too. Such is Caitlin Clark’s aura. The stakes are high whenever Clark battles Angel Reese, and hence any flaws also get a lot of attention. Though Clark has won both the previous games against Reese in the WNBA, she hasn’t been able to emerge victorious by blowout margins. On Sunday night, in the game against the Sky when Clark, who was the number 1 pick in the WNBA, gave a pass to Kelsey Mitchell, the latter couldn’t catch the ball. Hence it again brought the fact that except for Clark the Fever were one of the poorest playing teams in the past season.

Caitlin Clark added to her turnover tally very early in the game. No one can really blame her for it, though. Following Marina Mabrey’s missed three, Clark grabbed the rebound and quickly released the ball to Kelsey Mitchell, who had managed to get free on the fast break. However, Mitchell somehow missed the ball as it went out of bounds, giving the ball back to Chicago.

In another instance later in the game with Indiana down 39-41. Kamilla Cardoso tried to pass the ball to one of her teammates who was standing near Fever’s post. But Clark was diligent enough to quickly steal it. She then pushed the pace before passing the ball to Mitchell, who was in open space but unfortunately missed a layup. This again pointed out the fact that while Clark was giving her best, her teammates were letting her down.

Fans troll Caitlin Clark’s teammates

“They are so bad bro,” one user commented. The fan was pointing out the fact that while Clark has been a great scorer for her team, she hasn’t had the support of her teammates. Therefore, despite her heroics, Clark has won 7 games and lost in 10. On the other hand, in the NCAA she had great support from her teammates due to which she led her team to two NCAA back-to-back Finals.

“Caitlin Clark leads the WNBA in turnovers” Her teammates EVERY game,” another fan stated. The fan was pointing out that Clark led the WNBA season with 95 turnovers. However, it was her teammates who were responsible for this most of the time.

“Nah Caitlin Clark gotta be fuming,” another fan pointed out the fact that Clark must have been fuming though she didn’t react much at that time. The pass was an easy one and could have been utilized by any professional. And if the Fever were to lose then her teammates should take the blame since they were playing too casually.

“WHAT A FREAKIN PASS FROM CLARK,” one fan commented. The admirer looked in awe at Clark’s pass since she had bounced the ball on the court and passed from the open space. This was nothing short of magic but her teammates had ruined all the fun.

“Not gon lie, Caitlin Clark might have some of the worst teammates in the WNBA LMAO,” another user stated. While Clark averages 16.2 points per game, the other teammate to average above 16 points is Mitchell. Apart from them, all the Fever teammates average below 15. Therefore, this was sort of a gentle reminder that Clark’s teammates were not performing up to the mark.

Hopefully, for Clark’s fans, the result will be positive and Clark will emerge victorious at the end.
