Caitlin Clark's Updated Box Score Stats at FIBA World Cup After Making History with Rare Feat
Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- Caitlin Clark struggled in the United States' narrow 55-52 win over Italy in the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, shooting 0-of-6 and scoring just one point after a record-setting opener.
- The U.S. team's overall performance was subpar, posting its lowest scoring output at the World Cup since 1971, with a 28.6% shooting percentage and more turnovers (14) than assists (11).
- The absence of four-time WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson was felt, as her presence in the paint could have significantly impacted the game's outcome.
- The U.S. has already secured a quarterfinal spot by winning Group D and faces Czechia next, where coach Kara Lawson might rest starters, potentially giving Clark and less experienced players more playing time.
