Clark WNBA’s Eastern Conference Player of Week, again

Honors, now at the professional level, are once again a routine for Caitlin Clark.

For the second-consecutive week, the Indiana Fever rookie guard from the University of Iowa was named the WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week. The league announced the award today.

Clark received Player of the Week honors last week during the Aug. 15-25 portion of the regular season.

The Fever went 4-0 record from Aug. 26 to Sept. 1, with Clark averaging 24.3 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.

In Indiana’s win over Connecticut last Wednesday, Clark set the WNBA rookie record for the 3-pointers. Clark enters this week with 98 3-pointers and can become the eighth player in WNBA history to surpass 100 mark in one season.

Clark scored a career-high 31 points in Indiana’s 100-81 win against the Chicago Sky on Friday and then followed up with 28 points, 12 assists and four rebounds in Indiana’s 100-93 win against Dallas on Sunday.

In Friday’s win, Clark passed Ticha Penicheiro for the most games by a rookie in WNBA history to record at least 10 assists and enters this week with 10.

The Fever begin a six-game homestand at Gainbridge Fieldhouse at 7 p.m. tonight against the Los Angeles Sparks. The action will be carried on MeTV and CBS Sports Network.
