Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever enter the week on the back of consecutive victories, defeating the Seattle Storm 110-107 before following it up with a 108-88 win over the New York Liberty. The two victories improved Indiana to 15-10, keeping the Fever sixth in the WNBA standings.
Clark was at the center of both wins after recently returning from a back injury. She made her comeback against the Golden State Valkyries before playing both ends of a back-to-back against Seattle and New York.
Against the Storm, Clark delivered a career-best 45 points and 10 assists, becoming the first player in WNBA history to record a 40-point, 10-assist game. She also became the fastest player in league history to reach 200 career three-pointers, helping silence doubts after her injury layoff.
