After a slow start to her rookie season, Caitlin Clark has started to find her rhythm in the WNBA, steadily transforming into the dominant force she was known for during her college career at Iowa.
This newfound confidence was on full display Sunday when Clark lit up the court with 28 points and 12 assists, leading the Indiana Fever to a 100-93 victory over the Dallas Wings. The Fever have been on a hot streak, winning six of their last seven games, and are now above .500 (17-16) for the first time this season.
While Clark has always been a threat from beyond the arc, she’s been working on a new weapon in her arsenal since the Olympic break—a floater that could make her nearly unstoppable. During the game against Dallas, she unveiled this new shot, leaving fans in awe:
I don’t know who needs to hear this but if Caitlin Clark adds this floater it’s over for the rest of the WNBA with all due respectpic.twitter.com/tdG6jmXxZA

Clark’s latest move had fans buzzing, with many believing this added dimension to her game could elevate her offensive dominance to a whole new level.
She's been doing this at least 1-2 times a game since the break. She will come back from the offseason with that being muscle memory. https://t.co/kkf1NJot4W

If she gets that floater anywhere near that of Tray Young it’s game over I’d call it right now she is already ROTY but she will be a champ and FMVP

Her continued evolution as a player suggests that she’s not only adjusted to the WNBA’s pace but is also ready to take it by storm. With the Fever’s recent surge, Clark’s emergence as a star could be the catalyst for a deep playoff run.
