Caitlin Clark is on fire in the WNBA. The top overall pick has recorded her fifth consecutive double-double and sixth in seven games as the Indiana Fever secured a 95-86 victory over the Phoenix Mercury. Clark scored 20 points and dished out 13 assists, matching her career-high for the fourth time in her last seven games. This impressive performance comes as the Fever have now won seven of their last 11 games after a rough start to the season.
Despite a strong lead of 31 points late in the third quarter, the Fever almost faced a brutal collapse as the Mercury went on a 31-4 run to cut the deficit to just four points with a few minutes left in the game. However, Indiana managed to hold on for the win with a 10-5 run to finish the game, with Clark contributing crucial assists down the stretch.
Clark’s outstanding play has earned her the most votes for the upcoming All-Star Game, with over 700,000 votes. Her teammate Aaliyah Boston followed closely in second place, while A’ja Wilson came in third. Clark and Boston are the only two rookies to be voted as All-Stars, highlighting their impact in the league.
Looking ahead, the Fever will face the Minnesota Lynx before the Olympic break, with their final game against the Dallas Wings on Wednesday. Clark’s stellar performance and growing popularity among fans make her a player to watch in the WNBA.
