Caitlin Clark sets WNBA record for points and assists in a month

Caitlin Clark delivered the most productive month by a point guard in WNBA history in August, averaging 24.4 points over 11 games while helping the Indiana Fever go 7-4. She scored or assisted on a record 44.7 points per game, recorded five 20-point, 10-assist performances and became the first player to post consecutive games with at least 30 points and 10 assists. Clark’s broader 2026 campaign has helped Indiana reach a franchise-best 26-14 record and emerge as a championship contender, with her averaging 22.5 points, 8.4 assists and 3.9 rebounds while shooting career-best percentages. The Fever have promoted her MVP candidacy with the nickname “MVCC,” as her scoring and playmaking make her one of the league’s leading players. While on national-team duty, Clark opened the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup with 14 points and 11 assists in Team USA’s 94-61 win over China, setting a U.S. record for assists in a World Cup debut.
