Caitlin Clark adjustment Stephanie White must immediately lean into

Caitlin Clark is a one-person offensive explosion just waiting to happen in any WNBA game. The Indiana Fever star guard, who returned from her quad injury against the New York Liberty and completely caught fire for 32 points on 50 percent shooting from three, showed exactly what the Fever had been missing with her not on the floor for two weeks.

Head coach Stephanie White, who was left to figure out how to maximize their offense without their starting facilitator while Clark was out, now has the opportunity to lean completely into Clark as their engine on offense.

Without Clark, the Fever struggled to find consistent scoring from three point range, which in turn hurt Aliyah Boston's opportunities in the paint. With Clark back, Boston notched a double double on just ten shots. Her gravity also impacted other shooters on the team like Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull, with both finishing with a combined 36 points.

Clark's speed, ability to get shots up quickly, and vision down the floor in transition were all sorely missed by Indiana, as they struggled to get shots up until very late in the shot clock with her injured. White has to allow for Clark to take full control of the teams' offense moving forward as they're looking to both make the Commissioner's Cup final and come back from a current 5-5 record.

Fever have to make obvious adjustment to offense

Clark's electric return from injury is no anomaly. She was playing this well prior to her injury, only really struggling with her shooting during the game in which she got hurt.

Despite being out for five games, the Fever are still third in the league in PACE, which measures the number of possessions a team has in a game. Typically, it indicates both how well a team is rebounding and getting scoring opportunities, and how quickly they're taking advantage of said scoring chances.

With Clark out, the Fever were about 10th in the league in that metric, which shows that she's such a catalyst for their offense and its ability to beat out slower teams in transition.

White is one of the best coaches in the WNBA, and she's likely to lean heavily on Clark moving forward as she showed she's got no rust on her after sitting out for five games. With the ball in her hands, the entire Fever offense will benefit from speed, decisiveness, and spacing as large as the Grand Canyon.
