Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever returned to .500 on the 2025 WNBA season with a 94–86 win over the Seattle Storm on Tuesday night.

The Fever wrapped up their West Coast road trip with a 1–2 record, but the story of the week has been Clark’s shooting struggles. Still, Lexie Hull, who recorded the first double-double of her career, believes Clark will be fine.

Clark finished the win with six points on 3-of-13 shooting, along with nine assists and eight turnovers. She also failed to make a 3-pointer for the second time in the last three games. Hull contributed 15 points and 11 rebounds.

Since the road trip began, Clark has made just one 3-pointer, an uncommon stretch for the All-WNBA star. In fact, the former Iowa star has shot 1-of-23 from distance during that stretch, a measly 4.3%.

Following the win, Hull joined the media for a postgame press conference. When asked about Clark's recent slump, Hull assured that the Fever "are not worried."

"She'll be fine," Hull said. "We are not worried about it. She's a great shooter, great player, this happens to every great player."

With her latest performance, Clark's scoring average dropped from 19.8 points per game to 18.2. However, she is still averaging 8.9 assists, which is tied with Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas for the most in the WNBA.

Hull, on the other hand, is off to the best start of her career. She was inserted into the starting lineup early in the season and has found success, averaging career highs of 9.4 points on 48.5% shooting, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

Up next for the Fever: a matchup with Kelsey Plum and the Los Angeles Sparks back at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. ET.
