Caitlin Clark has spent a lot of time in the headlines this season for reasons that have nothing to do with her play on the court. But it’s worth remembering just how dominant she’s been whenever she’s healthy.
Just one day after being named an All-Star starter for the third consecutive season, Clark was named the WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month for June. It’s the second time in her career she’s earned the honor after also winning Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month in August 2024. She joins Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings as the only players in Indiana Fever history to receive the award, with Catchings winning it three times.

Clark was sensational throughout June, averaging 21.9 points, 8.2 assists and 4.0 rebounds over 10 games while shooting 45.6% from the field and 35.1% from beyond the arc. She ranked fourth in the WNBA in scoring and second in assists, leading Indiana to a 7-4 record while powering the league’s highest-scoring offense at 95.5 points per game.

One of her best performances came on June 11 against Chicago, when she exploded for 32 points and 10 assists. Clark and Aliyah Boston became the first teammates in WNBA history to each record a 30-point double-double in the same game. Five days later, she followed that up with 21 points and a season-high 14 assists in a win over Toronto.
From June 11-22, Clark also set a new WNBA record by recording at least 20 points and five assists in six consecutive games. It was the third time in her career she has put together a streak of at least five straight games reaching those marks—something every other player in league history has combined to do just three times.
That streak ended only because a back injury forced Clark to leave Indiana’s June 24 game against Phoenix in the third quarter after she had already piled up 19 points and eight assists. It was also the game in which Alyssa Thomas made contact with Clark’s neck during a play that resulted in a flagrant foul.
Clark continues to rewrite the WNBA record books. She enters July needing just nine assists to reach 600 for her career and only five three-pointers to become the fastest player in league history to make 200 career threes.
