Caitlin Clark, the top pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, showcased her shooting prowess once again during a training camp session with the Indiana Fever on Monday. However, teammate Kelsey Mitchell met her impressive half-court shot with a playful challenge.
The former Iowa Hawkeye participated in a half-court shot competition alongside her Fever teammates at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, home of the Indiana Pacers.
In a viral video posted by the Fever on social media, Clark can be seen confidently sinking a deep shot on her first attempt, prompting cheers from her fellow players. However, Mitchell, known for her sharpshooting skills, jokingly suggested that Clark should “back up” before attempting the shot.
