Caitlin Clark Makes Unfortunate History During Fever-Valkyries

When Caitlin Clark's name graces the headlines, it's generally because she's just done something the world has never seen before, or she's just broken another record. In her second season in the WNBA, at just 23 years of age, Clark continues to climb leaderboards and record books with her stellar play.

Thursday night, however, was the rare occasion when Clark made an unfortunate kind of history.

Thursday night's game between the Indiana Fever and Golden State Valkyries was Game No. 47 of Clark's WNBA career. Clark is already No. 2 all-time for 3-pointers made in a season (122 in 2024). She also led the league in 3-pointers made per game in 2024 (3.0).

Clark continues to set a new standard for 3-point shooting in the WNBA, but even the greatest shooters of all-time have off nights.

Thursday night's 88-77 loss to the Valkyries was just the second game in Clark's WNBA career when she failed to make a 3-pointer.

Clark finished 0-for-7 from 3-point range against the Valkyries. She scored just 11 points on 3-for-14 shooting from the field.

The only other game in her WNBA career when she failed to make a 3-pointer came during the 2025 WNBA season as well. On May 22, Clark went 0-for-5 from 3-point range against the Atlanta Dream. The Fever, however, would win that game 81-76.

Despite her struggles on Thursday night, Clark packed yet another arena on the road. The reported attendance inside Chase Center was 18,064, and Clark's pregame routine and interactions caused quite a stir for Fever and Valkyries fans alike.

Clark will look to start a new streak of games with a made 3-pointer in the Fever's next game. They'll take on the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. EDT on ESPN.
