​The Indiana Fever once again placed Caitlin Clark on a minutes restriction Sunday night as she continues to recover from a back injury, but the team still delivered one of its strongest performances of the season. Indiana dominated the Las Vegas Aces 109-75 behind a standout effort from Kelsey Mitchell, who poured in 27 points, and Sophie Cunningham, who added 20 off the bench. Clark logged 24 minutes, finishing with 12 points, seven rebounds, and six assists, while Aliyah Boston contributed 19 points and 11 rebounds. In the closing seconds of the third quarter, Clark found Monique Billings for an assist. Shortly after, the Fever announced that Clark had recorded the 600th assist of her career, making her the fastest player in WNBA history to reach the milestone. The achievement came in just 72 games, prompting the Fever to post, “Another record for No. 22.”
Clark has enjoyed an impressive first half of her third season in the league, though injuries have tempered her momentum at times. She never missed a game during her standout college career at Iowa, played every game as a rookie with Indiana, and then began dealing with injuries last season, appearing in only 13 games in 2025. Through the current campaign, Clark has already surpassed that total, having played and started in 18 of Indiana’s 23 games to date. Last week, she earned her third consecutive All-Star starter selection, a notable achievement in itself. Entering the matchup with Las Vegas, Clark was averaging 20.1 points, 7.8 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and 0.8 steals per game, while shooting 42.6% from the field and 33.6% from three-point range.
Indiana now sits at 14-9 on the season and is slated to return to action Wednesday against the Golden State Valkyries. Clark’s status remains uncertain, but the extra days off could aid her recovery, particularly after she finished Sunday’s game without any setbacks.
