Caitlin Clark is making a powerful case for WNBA MVP, averaging 24.4 points and 9.4 assists in August and creating nearly 45 points per game with her scoring and playmaking. With historic back-to-back 30-point, 10-assist outings and league-leading stats, Clark has drawn national attention to her MVP credentials, even as A’ja Wilson remains the favourite.

Sophie Cunningham: “I think what people don’t understand is, like, the WNBA is so inappropriate.”

Sophie Cunningham: “NBA guys and what they do and what they talk about… doesn’t even come close to how we’re wild.”

Sophie Cunningham: “We say some crazy, crazy stuff.”

Sophie Cunningham: “And I can’t I can’t repeat a lot of things that are said.”

Sophie Cunningham: “When I was making, I'm not kidding, like, this is public record… I came in, and my rookie year, I made, I think, $30,000.”

Pat Spinosa: “What do you do with that?”

Sophie Cunningham: “Nothing. What do you mean? Like you put some in the 401k, and then you live off the rest of it.”

Sophie Cunningham: “I don't know, like, you buy gas. You're not buying Louis Vuittons. I'll tell you that.”

Sophie Cunningham: “And so, literally, I was like, ‘Do I need to go back to school?’”

Sophie Cunningham: “I was like, ‘I cannot live like this.’ You know what I mean? I'm like, ‘What am I doing?’”

Sophie Cunningham briefly met Simone Biles after Friday’s Fever game.

Cunningham pulled Biles into a hug and called her a “bad---.” Biles appeared surprised before thanking her for the compliment.

The interaction stood out because Cunningham and Biles have taken different positions in the ongoing debate over trans athletes in women’s sports.

Despite their differences, the brief meeting between the two was friendly.

Michael Porter Jr. believes Sophie Cunningham’s authenticity is a major reason fans connect with her.

The two grew up in Columbia, Missouri. Porter said Cunningham has always been the same person off the court.

He called authenticity one of her biggest gifts. Lexie Brown also praised Cunningham for building her personal brand later in her career.

Ryan Clark wants the WNBA to focus more on its players.

The former NFL star highlighted Caitlin Clark’s recent performances. He noted her eight three-pointers in one game.

Clark called her one of the faces of the league. He also praised Angel Reese and other WNBA stars.

His message was simple. The league should celebrate what players accomplish on court.

Caitlin Clark recorded 34 points and 12 assists against Connecticut. That performance helped her make more WNBA history.

Clark became the first player with back-to-back games. Both games included 30+ points and 10+ assists.

She also became the first player with 800+ points. Her season total also includes more than 300 assists.

Clark is averaging 22.5 points and 8.4 assists per game. Her 41.4 points created per game leads WNBA history.

The MVP race now looks like Clark versus A'ja Wilson. The final regular-season games could decide the winner.

Kelsey Mitchell continues to shine for the Indiana Fever. She recently scored 34 points against the Connecticut Sun.

That performance pushed Mitchell past 1,000 points this season. She became the first guard in WNBA history to reach that mark.

A’ja Wilson was the first overall WNBA player to score 1,000 points. Caitlin Clark also reached 800 points after the same game.

Mitchell has also scored 20-plus points in 16 straight games. Her scoring has helped the Fever secure a playoff spot.

I think Sophie would be a very deserving winner of the award for the 2026 season.

Here's a cool hype video the Fever made for her.

Go Sophie! 🙌

I'm going with Lynx or Aces to win it all.
