Caitlin Clark Was FIBA World Cup Qualifiers MVP
Sport fans will always be split on how much Caitlin Clark they want to see, but for Team Clark, her appearing on NBA games is the crossover move that they are starving for.
Fans have been waiting to see Clark on a WNBA floor since July of 2025 when her season ended because of a combination of lower body injuries. They got a recent glimpse of Clark during the five-game FIBA World Cup Qualifiers, where Team USA went 5-0 and the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year was named the MVP of the entire tournament.
The Indiana Fever guard led Team USA in scoring with 58 total points scored across the five games (11.6 points per game), and she also topped the team with 6.4 assists per game. She started in a dominant 101–46 win over New Zealand, scoring 14 points and six assists. She also came off the bench against Spain to score seven points and dish seven assists.
