Clark Enters World Cup Break at Peak of Her WNBA Form

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is heading to the FIBA World Cup with Team USA after a historic stretch in the WNBA. She became the first player to record back-to-back games with at least 30 points and 10 assists, and her true shooting percentage is a career-best 60.8%. Clark leads the league in assists and ranks third in scoring, building a strong MVP case.

The Fever's victory over Connecticut lifted them past Atlanta into fourth place in the standings. Clark's historic stretch includes more 30-point, 10-assist performances this season alone than the entire WNBA has produced previously. She also became the first player ever to reach 800 points and 300 assists in a single season, and the first to combine 300 assists with 100 made three-pointers.

Clark's return from the injury that cut short her 2025 campaign came with Team USA during qualifying tournaments in Puerto Rico, where she earned MVP honors
