Caitlin Clark reacts to WNBA honor ahead of Fever game against Tempo

The Indiana Fever are on a three-game winning streak, thanks to the significant contributions of their superstar, Caitlin Clark, over the past week.

Extending back to June 8, the team defeated Washington, Chicago, and Connecticut, with their overtime win against the Sky featuring a near triple-double performance from Clark.

During that past week, Clark averaged 25.3 points, 6.7 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game, also making 49% of her field goals and 38.5% of her 3-point shots.

It should come as no surprise that Clark earned her first WNBA Player of the Week award due to her impressive performances and statistics.

The WNBA and Fever revealed she was last week’s Eastern Conference Player of the Week, sharing her recent averages and stats in a social media post.

Clark was particularly impressive in her team’s overtime win, 114-106, over the Sky. She played 40 minutes, scored 32 points, dished out 10 assists, and grabbed seven rebounds.

It’s her first time winning the award in a while, as she didn’t have any last season due to her unfortunate injuries, and claimed Player of the Week honors thrice in her rookie season.

At Indiana’s latest team practice, head coach Stephanie White also took a moment on the court to inform the team that “CC was named WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week.”

Clark reacted to that honor by making a “hang ten” surfer gesture with her hand several times and showing it to all of her teammates, who applauded and cheered for her.
