Caitlin Clark's shooting woes continue as Fever rely on Aliyah Boston's career night for win over Storm
Caitlin Clark's struggles on the court continued on Tuesday night as the Indiana Fever needed to lean on a career night from Aliyah Boston to get past the Seattle Storm, 94-86.
Clark scored six points in one of her worst shooting nights since she scored eight points against the Washington Mystics in a game last September. Her career-low was three points against the New York Liberty in a blowout loss last June.
She was 3-of-13 from the floor against the Storm with nine assists, three steals and two boards. She attempted six 3-pointers but came up empty on each shot. Since Thursday's loss to the Golden State Valkyries, Clark is 1-of-23 from beyond the arc.
"She'll be fine," teammate Lexie Hull told reporters after the game, via the Indy Star. "We're not worried about it. She's a great shooter, she's a great player. This happens to every player, every great player. She'll be fine."
Boston, the third-year Fever star, had 31 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two steals while veteran Kelsey Mitchell had 26 points. Hull had 15 points and 11 rebounds.
The Fever needed every basket to halt the Storm's winning streak. Seattle came into the game with a three-game winning streak and winners of six of their last seven.
Skylar Diggins had 22 points and six assists for the Storm. Erica Wheeler added 20 points.
Indiana got back to .500 with the win at 7-7. Seattle fell to 9-6.

Fever Rookie Makes Bold DeWanna Bonner Move
Fever Rookie Makes Bold DeWanna Bonner Move originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever picked up a much-needed win on Tuesday night, improving to 7-7 on the season with a 94-86 road victory against the Seattle Storm. Advertisement Caitlin Clark's shooting struggles made headlines, but she still recorded nine assists as Kelsey Mitchell (26 points, five 3-pointers) and Aliyah Boston (career-high 31 points) carried the load offensively for Indiana. However, there were two players who did not crack head coach Stephanie White's rotation on Tuesday: DeWanna Bonner and Makayla Timpson. Bonner, who has scored the third-most career points in WNBA history, missed her fifth consecutive game due to personal reasons, with a concerning report emerging before the game that the team is headed for a "breakup" with the veteran star. Indiana Fever forward DeWanna Bonner (25) celebrates with Sydney Colson (51) and Lexie Hull (10).Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images In the middle of the Fever-Storm game, Bonner made an Instagram post that showed where her focus lies outside of basketball. Advertisement She shared a photo of the children she shares with her wife, Phoenix Mercury star Alyssa Thomas, with the caption, "My greatest loves!! I love you!" Bonner's post drew comments from Thomas and WNBA veterans DiJonai Carrington and Isabelle Harrison, but perhaps the boldest one came from Timpson — a Fever rookie who did not see any game action against the Storm. Shortly after the game, she commented "❤️❤️" on Bonner's post, making her the only Indiana player to respond publicly to their absent teammate. Timpson's response stood in contrast to White's reaction when she was asked about the reports of Bonner leaving the team. Advertisement The Fever coach quickly moved on from the question, stating said she had not been talking to Bonner and was focused on the rest of the team. That focus has not included Timpson of late, despite the lack of frontcourt options in Bonner's absence. She did not see the court during the Fever's three-game road trip against the Golden State Valkyries, Las Vegas Aces and the Storm. The second-round pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft has played 11 minutes all season, averaging 0.6 points and 0.4 rebounds in the five games she has appeared in.
