Clark has four double-doubles in her last five outings. However, her scoring and playmaking will be tested as Indiana is set to face three teams in the top eight of the standings in its next five matchups. The schedule includes two clashes with the Dallas Wings, along with a game versus the Atlanta Dream.<\/p>\n<p>Caitlin Clark\u2019s 2026 season performance<\/p>\n<p><img data-od-added-loading=\"\" data-od-removed-fetchpriority=\"high\" data-od-replaced- data-od-xpath=\"\/HTML\/BODY\/DIV[@class='elementor elementor-68004 elementor-location-single post-214555 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-wnba tag-caitlin-clark tag-sue-bird tag-wnba mv-content-wrapper']\/*[3][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::DIV]\/*[2][self::DIV]\/*[2][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::DIV]\/*[8][self::FIGURE]\/*[1][self::PICTURE]\/*[2][self::IMG]\" loading=\"lazy\" data-wp-picture-wrapped=\"\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/default-1516-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-206380\" \/>Jul 17, 2026; Indianapolis, Indiana, USA; Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) dribbles the ball against Seattle Storm guard Flau\u2019jae Johnson (4) in the second half at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

She is producing these numbers despite playing a career-low 30.4 minutes per game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Iowa Hawkeyes product continues to deal with a lingering back issue but is playing through it. She often appears on the team\u2019s injury report with a probable tag. Stephanie White and her staff are monitoring her minutes to keep her healthy for the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clark missed the entire postseason last year due to quad, groin and ankle injuries. The Fever still reached the second round; however, they are hoping to contend for the title this season.
