Caitlin Clark Turns Heads With Unexpected Behavior During Fever-Sky Game
admin_news
If anybody knows how to react after securing a triple-double, Caitlin Clark would be one of the rare people who does.
The Indiana Fever guard recorded the third triple-double of her WNBA career on Saturday in a 93-58 win against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky. She finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, four blocks and two steals.
She is the fastest player in WNBA history to hit three triple-doubles, doing so in the 41st game of her professional career and Indiana's first of the 2025 season.
She also achieved the feat 17 times across her college basketball career at Iowa, the second-most in NCAA Division I history for men or women.
All that experience did not seem to prepare her for the moment she secured the statistical feat on Saturday.
Clark had to beg Fever head coach Stephanie White to put her back in the game late in the fourth quarter of the blowout win to finally grab her 10th rebound.
In classic Clark style, she pulled down the board and immediately looked up for a downcourt outlet pass. Rookie teammate Makayla Timpson did not catch what would have been Clark's 11th assist.
The gaffe led to a dramatic reaction from Clark in the middle of the court that the broadcast cameras did not catch in the moment, but social media was not far behind.

"Yo why did she sit down like that?" responded a fan on X.
"She's so dramatic," said another.

"bro why’d she sit down," posted a popular Clark fan account.
"Stat padding takes work," joked a response.
White caught some heat for putting her star player back in the game to chase stats while up by 25 points, but Clark's reaction showed that her next assist is always more important to her than her last statistical milestone.
