Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark is notorious for her three-point shooting ability, holding several records at both the WNBA and collegiate levels for her performance from beyond the arc. Lately, though, she cannot seem to find the bottom of the net from deep.

In Indiana’s season-opening showdown with the Dallas Wings on Saturday, Clark put up 20 points in the 107-104 loss, but she was not hitting her shots from deep. She finished the game just 2 of 9 from beyond the three-point line. Clark was obviously still a significant factor in the game with her scoring as well as seven assists and five rebounds, but the three-point shots simply were not falling.

Unfortunately, things did not get any better for her in the second game of the season.

On Wednesday night, the Fever headed west to take on the Los Angeles Sparks. While the Fever were able to notch a victory, defeating the Sparks by a final score of 87-78, Clark’s three-point shot was still not falling. The Fever star missed her first six shots from beyond the arc before finally connecting on her seventh, finishing 1-for-7 from three-point range on the day.

Through her first two games of the season, Clark is just 3-for-16 from beyond the arc – a dismal 18.75% from three-point territory. And it’s not just this year, either. Clark struggled from three-point range last year, too. In her last nine games, Clark is just 10-of-65 from deep, for 15.38%.

It’s been a jarring slump for Clark, given how important her three-point shot is to her game, and her struggles have sparked a lot of criticism from both fans and .
