The game has slowed down for Caitlin Clark at just the right time, as the Indiana Fever picked up their fifth straight win last night, defeating the Los Angeles Sparks 93-86. Clark continues to impress with her second triple-double of the year, becoming the fifth player in WNBA history to achieve two triple-doubles in a single season. She posted an impressive stat line of 24 points, ten rebounds, and ten assists, showcasing her incredible shooting and growing comfort in reading defenses.
Teams led by Clark are now officially 19-0 when she records a triple-double. Her stellar performances have earned her both the Rookie of the Month and Eastern Conference Player of the Month honors. She’s currently averaging 24 points, nearly nine assists, and five rebounds per game. In the win against the Sparks, Clark controlled the tempo, highlighted by a one-legged fadeaway from mid-range and a spectacular steal that led to a behind-the-back pass to Aaliyah Boston for an and-one finish at the rim.
The former Iowa guard has also been instrumental in helping the Fever end their eight-year playoff drought, securing sole possession of the sixth seed. Even NBA superstar LeBron James took notice of Clark’s performance, showing love with a brief but appreciative post on his Instagram story.
Check out the highlights from Clark’s second triple-double and LeBron’s praise for her impressive surge post-Olympics this season. Since the season’s resumption, Clark is averaging 24.5 points, nine assists, and five rebounds while shooting 48% from the field and nearly 39% from beyond the arc.
