Caitlin Clark, the star point guard for the Indiana Fever, has been making headlines with her impressive play in the WNBA. In the month of August, Clark scored or assisted on 44.7 points per game, a WNBA record for a single month. She also became the first player in WNBA history to have back-to-back 30-plus-point and 10-plus-assist games.
Clark's phenomenal play has been a key factor in the Fever's success, as they went 7-4 in their August stretch and now hold a 26-14 record, good for fifth in the WNBA standings. The team will return from an international break and have four games remaining in their regular-season schedule before heading into the playoffs.
Clark's individual achievements are notable, as she averaged 24.4 points per game in August, the highest-scoring month by a point guard in WNBA history. She also put together five games in August where she had at least 20 points and 10 assists, a feat that no other player has achieved in the last five seasons combined.
The Fever's performance in August was marked by a win over the Connecticut Sun, where Clark scored 34 points with 12 assists, and a win over the Chicago Sky, where she poured in 37 points, including eight three-pointers made, with 10 assists. Clark's play has set the stage for her first appearance in the FIBA Women's World Cup, where she will represent Team USA.
