“Caitlin Clark is the only player in WNBA history to average 26 points and 9 assists per game over a 10 game span,” shared one Clark fan account.
Fans also raved about the Iowa alum’s performance against the Dream on social media.
“Caitlin Clark keeps proving why she is the Point GOAT,” wrote one fan on X after reading Clark’s stats.
Superstars like Sue Bird, Courtney Vandersloot, and Chelsea Gray have all worn the mantle of ‘best PG in the league’ over the course of their careers at some point. Clark is inching toward that title as each game passes her by.
“Only player ever,” said Miami Dolphins journalist Joe Schad, pointing out Clark’s historic run.
Another user kept it simple as they put up a simple, “The best,” remark while reacting to the historic pace Clark is currently on.
Clark also has the most career games with 20+ points and 10+ assists, the first 45-point/10-assist game in league history, and the rookie single-season scoring record (769 points), to name a few.

Aside from this 10-game stretch, Caitlin has been having a career year in 2026. She’s averaging 22 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 8.3 assists. Clark is leading the Fever, alongside Kelsey Mitchell, to a top-4 seed in the league, with the Fever boasting a 23-12 record.
With nine games left in the season and Clark on a heater, it’s safe to say that Indy is heading into the postseason with a chance of making a fairly deep run this season.
