Tari Eason's mom perplexed at Caitlin Clark's photoshopped pic in Rockets jersey

A photoshopped image of Caitlin Clark recently went viral on social media, showing the WNBA Rookie of the Year wearing a Houston Rockets uniform. Rockets forward Tari Eason's mother couldn't resist reposting the image on X (formerly Twitter) and sharing her reaction to it.

"Now wait a goddamn minute!! 🤔" Eason's mother posted.

While the photoshopped image is clearly a joke, it hints at Houston's need for a proficient shooter. Currently, the Rockets' shooting percentages are only average, with a 33% accuracy from beyond the arc and 44% overall from the field. Despite these shooting struggles, they are surprisingly among the top two teams in the West.

The image of Caitlin Clark in a Rockets jersey likely stems from her efficiency from the field in the WNBA. While she's only shooting 34.4% from long distance and 41.7% overall, her effective field goal percentage stands at a solid 52.2%.

The Houston Rockets have been one of the most surprising teams in the NBA this season, currently holding second place with a 15-6 record, just 0.5 games behind the OKC Thunder. Despite their impressive performance in the first quarter of the 2024-25 season, they ironically rank among the worst in shooting accuracy.

This factor led to the viral photoshopped image of Caitlin Clark in a Rockets jersey. Fans on X couldn't help but share their reactions to the doctored image.

" If Reed don't start shooting the gotdamn ball, we might have to make this transaction 😤," one user wrote.

"We need shooting! 👀 " another posted.

Many fans had positive reactions to Clark's photoshopped image:

"I KNOW she can hit an open 3," one X user pointed out.

"😂😂😂 I’m for it," another tweeted.

"Now this is what I like to see," one said.

If the Houston Rockets can find a shooter of Caitlin Clark's caliber, could their chances of maintaining their top status in the Western Conference improve? Let us know in the comments.
