Reigning back-to-back-to-back Eastern Conference Player of the Week Caitlin Clark hasn't scored fewer than 19 points in a game since the All-Star Break entering Wednesday's game against the Aces. The 22-year-old phenom leads the Fever with 19.2 points per contest.
With her inaugural regular season coming to an end, the Rookie of the Year favorite faces off against 2023 WNBA champion Las Vegas and former teammate Kate Martin twice this week. The first game Wednesday marked their third matchup of the year — Clark & Co. last played the Aces on July 2, when the point guard earned a double-double of 13 points and 11 assists with six rebounds.
Since then, Clark has dramatically improved her game and adjusted to the pace of the WNBA. She leads the league in assists (8.5) and 3-pointers per game (3.1), sitting ahead of established stars like Alyssa Thomas, Sabrina Ionescu and Arike Ogunbowale in both categories.
Wednesday's contest offered yet another chance for Clark to showcase her skills on both ends of the court against one of the most dominant teams in recent years. The Sporting News has you covered with how many points she scored today, including full stats, results and highlights from Fever vs. Aces in Indianapolis.

The Fever guard tacked on three more assists in the second half and eight more points. But Clark also put forth one of the worst 3-point shooting performances of her rookie season with 1-of-10 shooting throughout the game.
Additionally, the Aces held Clark to the fewest points she's scored in a matchup since the last time the two teams played against each other, in which the guard notched 13. Her former teammate Martin also did not come off the bench, keeping the two from reuniting on the court during play.
