Why Is Caitlin Clark Struggling? Viral Video May Reveal the Truth

There’s no sugarcoating it — Caitlin Clark has hit a rough patch in her second WNBA season.

Over a brutal three-game stretch, the Indiana Fever star went just 1-of-23 from beyond the arc, a shocking 4.3% shooting clip. Even expanding that to a four-game span, her 3-of-28 shooting — just 10.7% — now stands as the worst in WNBA history for any player attempting 25+ threes in that span.

Her slump hasn’t ended either.

Clark managed 12 points and 9 assists against the Atlanta Dream but connected on only 1 of 7 from deep. Against the Dallas Wings, she finished with 4-of-12 shooting overall, including 2-of-7 from long range.

But now, a viral video is offering insight into her struggles. Analysts and fans believe the clip highlights how defenders are forcing Clark into rushed, off-balance shots, often pushing her beyond her comfort zone.

It’s not just a shooting slump — it’s a tactical adjustment league-wide.

Still, Clark’s resilience and playmaking remain strong. The question now: Can she adjust before the slump defines her season?
