Caitlin Clark named WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month for June

Caitlin Clark was honored as the WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month for June after appearing in 10 games for the Indiana Fever. She posted averages of 21.9 points, 8.2 assists and 4.0 rebounds, shooting 45.6% from the field and 35.1% from three‑point range. The accolade makes her only the second player in Fever history to earn the award, joining Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings.

Clark’s June performances included a 32‑point, 10‑assist effort against Chicago, and a 21‑point, 14‑assist game versus Toronto, the first teammates in league history to record 30‑point double‑doubles in the same contest. She also set a new WNBA record with at least 20 points and five assists in six consecutive games. The honor follows her selection as an All‑Star starter for the third straight season.

Beyond the award, Clark’s rise has driven a surge in WNBA viewership and attendance, a phenomenon dubbed the “Caitlin Clark Effect,” underscoring her influence on the sport’s popularity and cultural relevance.
