Caitlin Clark enjoyed a massive comeback win over the New York Liberty on Saturday, not in the sense of overcoming a huge deficit, but having returned on the back of an insufferable absence to go off on the reigning WNBA champions and hand them their first loss of the season.

The Indiana Fever star was sidelined for five games with a quad injury but showed she hasn’t missed a step as she returned to torch the Liberty with a 32-point performance that saw her score nine points in 38 seconds at one point, as she hit three contested long-range bombs from well beyond the arc in quick succession.

Even so, Clark has taken some stick due to a particular play in which she missed a shot attempt but threw her hands up in frustration when she did not get the ball back after the offensive rebound.

Check her out in the video below:

“Shorty really think she’s KD,” a user joked.

“yeah cant do that,” said a second.

“Horrible… shes been entitled since she was in HS,” added a third.

“Not a good look,” someone else wrote.

Of course, some fans did not care for it.

“This is how people who want to win act. She saw how bad they are without her, gotta hold ppl accountable. Get out your feelings,” a user suggested.

“Indiana played a damn near perfect game, and Clark had a stellar game and THIS S**T is what you focus on??” someone asked.

Caitlin Clark’s return was a very enjoyable watch. She scored her 32 points on 11-of-20 shooting from the field and 7-of-14 shooting from three, adding nine assists and eight rebounds.

The second-year guard scored 25 of those points in just the first half of the contest, playing 31 minutes in her first game back.

As for the Fever, they won by a blowout margin of 102-88 and will look to capitalize on the momentum after beating such a formidable opponent in such fashion.
