NEW: The viral theory that Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have switched places…
She isn’t going to get back into rhythm
Caitlin Clark returned from injury hoping to pick up where she left off, but her latest outing for the Indiana Fever has sparked mixed reactions from fans and analysts. While her overall performance helped the Fever grab a solid 99-82 victory over the Atlanta Dream, Clark’s individual play was under the microscope after a few uncharacteristic mistakes, particularly a missed layup that went viral on social media.
Though the All-Star rookie guard finished with 12 points, nine assists, and four rebounds in 26 minutes, the conversation online centered more around what she didn’t do than what she did. She went 5-of-17 from the field and just 1-of-7 from three-point range, drawing a wave of reactions – some humorous, some critical.Nah man what happened to Caitlin Clark???” asked one fan on X, reacting to the missed layup. “No way bruh. It’s like her and Angel Reese traded places,” they added, referencing Clark’s main rookie counterpart who has recently surged in form.Despite the online frenzy, the Fever improved to 10-10, reaching a .500 record, a notable benchmark for a team that struggled at the beginning of the season.
