Clark is having a tremendous season, with the Dowling Catholic High School graduate ranking third in the league in scoring at 21.5 points per game and second in assists at 8.0. The 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year has been heating up alongside the summer temperatures, as the reigning Player of the Month for June, and has won multiple Player of the Week awards.

On Tuesday, the WNBA announced that Clark had once again won the Player of the Week award. This time, for Week 10 of the WNBA season from July 27 to Aug. 2, the 6-foot guard averaged 25.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 9.0 assists over the three-game span. Against the Portland Fire on Friday, the Iowa native recorded her fourth career triple-double with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

The Fever took to social media that same day to celebrate the announcement. Not only is this Clark's third Player of the Week award of the season, but the franchise swept all of the Player of the Week awards for July, with guard Kelsey Mitchell winning for Week 8 on July 14.

"Caitlin Clark is your @WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week," Indiana wrote on X. "For the third time this season 😤👏"
