Caitlin Clark named Eastern Conference Player of the Month despite only playing 10 games

Caitlin Clark has spent a lot of time in the headlines this season for reasons that have nothing to do with her play on the court. But it's worth remembering just how dominant she's been whenever she's healthy.

Just one day after being named an All-Star starter for the third consecutive season, Clark was named the WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month for June. It's the second time in her career she's earned the honor after also winning Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month in August 2024. She joins Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings as the only players in Indiana Fever history to receive the award, with Catchings winning it three times.
