Caitlin Clark repeats as WNBA's Eastern Conference Player of the Week

After another tremendous stretch of games, Caitlin Clark has been named Eastern Conference Player of the Week once again as the WNBA released its awards for Week 10 of the 2026 regular season.

It’s the sixth time in her three-year WNBA career that the former Hawkeye has earned Player of the Week honors, the third time this season that Clark has captured the recognition, and the only player in the league so far this year to earn the distinction on back-to-back weeks.

Clark scored a cumulative 77 points this past week, the third-most by any player in the WNBA over the span. Averaging 25.7 points per game, Clark had the fifth-highest points-per-game average in the league, while Clark’s 27 total assists and 9.0 assists per game both led the league throughout the week.

On July 28 against the Seattle Storm, Clark led the team to victory with a team-high 32 points and seven assists, marking the ninth 30-plus point scoring game of Clark’s career, which sits one away from tying Tamika Catchings (10) for the second-most in franchise history.  

On July 31 against the Portland Fire, Clark continued to set the record books by earning her fourth career triple-double with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, giving her the third-most triple-doubles in WNBA history. In Aug. 2’s clash against the Minnesota Lynx, Clark recorded her 27th career and seventh double-double of the year with 19 points and 10 assists, marking the 25th points/assists double-double of her career, just three shy of Sue Bird’s record for the third-most in WNBA history. 

With her selection, Clark joins Tamika Catchings (22) as the only Fever players to win six or more Player of the Week awards and also marks the third-consecutive week an Indiana Fever player has been named Eastern Conference Player of the Week, dating back to Mitchell’s win in Week 8.

Clark and the Fever (18-11) face the Las Vegas Aces (21-9) on Thursday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse at 6 p.m. CT on Amazon Prime Video.
