The Indiana Fever have rallied off two straight wins, and after spending the bulk of the last two weeks on a minutes restriction, it appears superstar Caitlin Clark has returned to her normal form.
Clark is just days removed from making WNBA history last Friday night against the Seattle Storm, when she erupted for 45 points and 10 assists to become the first player in league history to reach those marks in the same game.
On Tuesday, she received recognition from the league for her recent stretch of play.

WNBA Fans React to News
While many praised Clark for earning the honor, others believed her teammate, Kelsey Mitchell, was more deserving after scoring at least 20 points in 10 straight games and leading the Fever in scoring this season.
@michaeljohn0811: “Slap in the face to Kelsey Mitchell.”
@NugsLoL: “I’ll take the heat. Kelsey should’ve got it. And that doesn’t mean Caitlin didnt deserve it.”
