Caitlin Clark makes WNBA history and closes the 2026 season in strong form

Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever star and three-time All-Star, is closing the 2026 WNBA season with powerful performances. In the game against the Minnesota Lynx, which Indiana won 96-77, Clark came very close to a double-double, contributing significantly in points and assists for her team.

As Bleacher Report notes, the Fever have seen Clark go through a stretch of extraordinary performances in recent games, a pace rarely seen in league history. However, this surge in form appears to have come too late to decisively affect the MVP race: Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson remains the heavy favorite, at -7000 odds on FanDuel.

Indiana was considered a surprise when it secured a playoff berth in 2024, Clark’s rookie year. Last season Clark missed time with an injury, while the team stunned by reaching the semifinals and pushing the Aces, the finalists and eventual champions, in a five-game series. Although the 2026 roster is not the most complete in the league, expectations have changed: to go further, Indiana needs Clark to take the leading role.

Based on recent performances, Clark is expected to be the key influence for the Fever in the playoffs and to lead the team in its push for bigger results. Bleacher Report underlines that this moment of form could be decisive for the Indiana Fever’s season ambitions.
