Caitlin Clark Makes WNBA History, Check Out the Rare Box-Score Stats amid MVP Race

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is finishing the 2026 WNBA season with a flourish.

The three-time All-Star narrowly missed out on a double-double as Indiana beat the Minnesota Lynx 96-77 on Tuesday.

The Fever noted Clark is on a heater of late without parallel in league history:

This is coming way too late to impact the WNBA MVP race. The Las Vegas Aces' A'ja Wilson is a -7000 favorite at FanDuel Sportsbook . League officials may have already shipped the trophy to Sin City by this point.

But Clark's surge is encouraging for her team as it prepares for the postseason.

The Fever were big underdogs when they punched their ticket to the playoffs in 2024, Clark's rookie year. Then she was sidelined altogether a season ago, when they unexpectedly advanced to the semifinals and pushed the eventual champion Aces to five games.

Indiana isn't the strongest team in the 2026 field, but it's no longer going to settle for moral victories in the playoffs. For the franchise to achieve its ambitions, it needs Clark to play a starring role.

Based on her recent outings, that's exactly what she's going to do.
