Caitlin Clark Repeats as WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week

The award spotlights a recent on-court surge and raises questions about low player participation in All‑Star voting.

Overview

  • The WNBA named Clark Eastern Conference Player of the Week for Week 10 on Tuesday, marking the sixth weekly honor of her three-year career and her third this season.
  • She led the league that week with 27 total assists and averaged 25.7 points per game while scoring a cumulative 77 points and shooting 53.7 percent from the field.
  • Clark produced key performances in late July, including 32 points and seven assists on July 28 and a fourth career triple-double (26 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) on July 31, giving her the third-most triple-doubles in WNBA history.
  • Player All‑Star ballots placed Clark 11th among guards, a result that drew scrutiny after ESPN’s Alexa Philippou reported only 85 of 180 players submitted ballots and prompted public commentary from figures such as Skip Bayless.
  • The Fever sit 18-11 and face the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday night, a stretch of strong play from Clark that could affect Indiana’s playoff positioning and the wider debate over peer voting and player perception.
