After this Sunday games the WNBA is entering a short break from August 31 through September 16 due to the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup in Berlin, Germany.

When the action returns, each squad will have roughly three to four games remaining on their schedules that will serve a dual purpose; first, to lock down final seeding in the standings since the eight playoff participants (Lynx, Valkyries, Aces, Dream, Fever, Liberty, Mystics, and Wings) have already clinched their postseason berths.

The second priority centers on major individual honors, where rookie sensation Olivia Miles has all but locked up Rookie of the Year, while the MVP race has narrowed down to a fierce two-player battle between four-time winner A’ja Wilson, who is also tracking toward her fourth Defensive Player of the Year award, and Caitlin Clark, whose unprecedented offensive production accounts for a staggering 41.4 points created per game, standing as the highest mark in league history backed by 22.5 PPG and a league-leading 8.4 APG.

Caitlin Clark Rewrite the WNBA Record Books

The offensive explosion coming out of Indiana this season has been entirely unprecedented, averaging 97.0 PPG, the highest single-season scoring average in league history, and following up with their 19th game scoring 100 or more points in a dominant 111-91 victory over Connecticut.

In that stellar performance, Caitlin Clark and backcourt partner Kelsey Mitchell each poured in 34 points, marking a record fourth time the dynamic duo has both eclipsed the 30-point mark in the same contest.

For Mitchell, it marked her 24th consecutive game scoring 20 or more points, extending her WNBA record, while Clark finished her night with 34 points and 12 assists.

This accomplishment made her the first player in league history to register back-to-back games with 30+ points and 10+ assists, further solidifying a campaign where she became the first player ever to record 800+ points and 300+ assists in a single season, alongside clearing 100+ three-pointers.

This stellar bounce-back year following her limited 13-game action in 2025 has been nothing short of extraordinary, placing her squarely alongside Wilson in the thick of the MVP conversation. When professional play resumes following the international window, the Fever will play their final four regular-season games, capped by a high-stakes back-to-back series against the league-leading Minnesota Lynx.
