Caitlin Clark's 40‑point, 10‑assist feat and Valkyries' nine‑game streak dominate WNBA week

Caitlin Clark recorded a historic 45‑point, 10‑assist performance for Indiana in a 110‑107 win over Seattle, becoming the first player in WNBA history – and the only player in NBA or WNBA history – to post a 40‑point, 10‑assist line in under 30 minutes. The Golden State Valkyries extended their franchise‑record winning streak to nine games, moving to second place in the league’s power rankings with a 19‑7 record. Los Angeles Sparks forward Nneka Ogwumike surpassed Lisa Leslie to become the franchise’s all‑time leading scorer. Injuries to Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers and Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese raised doubts about their availability for the upcoming All‑Star Game. The league’s 30th‑season All‑Star weekend also featured a $100,000 charity prize pool, with Girls in the Game – a Chicago organization that welcomes gender‑expansive participants – selected as one of the beneficiaries.
