Caitlin Clark Wins AP WNBA Player of the Week

Clark Honors for Outstanding Week

Caitlin Clark has been honored as the Associated Press Player of the Week after a dominant stretch in mid‑July. The Indiana Fever point guard capped a three‑game span with a historic performance that set multiple franchise benchmarks. Her selection highlights a dramatic rise for a player who continues to balance minute limitations with prolific output.

During the July 13‑19 window, Clark averaged 25 points on 43.5% shooting, supplementing that with 7.7 assists and 2.3 rebounds per contest. Despite limited minutes, she maintained a high level of efficiency and playmaking. The numbers underscore a all‑around contribution that kept the Fever competitive in each of their contests.

Historical Night vs Seattle Storm

The centerpiece of Clark’s week came on July 17 against the Seattle Storm. She became the first player in both WNBA and NBA history to log 45 points and 10 assists in fewer than 30 minutes of play. That outing eclipsed the previous franchise single‑game scoring mark and established a new career‑high for the 6‑foot guard.

The Fever secured a 110‑107 victory over Seattle, with Clark’s performance driving the offensive surge. Her ability to dominate statistically while playing a condensed role signals a shift in how the Fever plan her involvement. The win also improved the team’s overall momentum heading into the final stretch of the regular season.

Where the Fever Stand Now

Indiana sits at 16‑10 with just one additional game before Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell head to Chicago for the 2026 WNBA All‑Star Game. The upcoming contest against the Connecticut Sun (7‑19) at Gainbridge Fieldhouse is slated for Wednesday night. The Fever aim to secure a third straight win and boost their league position before the all‑star break.

Wednesday’s tip‑off is set for 7 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on USA Network. The match marks a crucial test for Indiana’s rotating core as they balance preparation for the showcase event with maintaining their playoff push. Fans can expect another high‑scoring game as the Fever look to extend their recent winning streak.
