Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is in the middle of a strong season. While a lingering back injury has consistently led to Clark landing on the injury report, she has been able to stay on the floor for the most part. Clark, however, was limited to only 13 games played last year — which happened to be Sophie Cunningham’s first season with the Fever. 2026 has given Cunningham an opportunity to see Clark’s game on a more consistent basis, and one specific element of Clark’s approach has especially impressed the WNBA veteran.
“I will say, yeah, she (Clark) didn’t play last year and that was my first time really being on the team and being her teammate, but I really do feel like this year she is using her body so, so well,” Cunningham said on her new podcast, No Hesitation with Sophie Cunningham Drew Hanlen. “Like she’s strong, she’s using the glass. Her jump-shots are going in and it’s efficient and it’s good for us. But I do think that, like, her body control this year has been huge.”
Clark’s 22.5 points per game, 45.6 percent field goal percentage and 37.3 three-point percentage all represent career-high marks. She may not win the WNBA MVP Award with players such as A’ja Wilson and her Fever teammate Kelsey Mitchell also playing at high levels, but Clark will certainly be in the conversation. She could even be a top three finalist for the first time (Clark finished fourth during her rookie season in 2024).

Regardless of whether or not Clark wins the MVP, she has helped Mitchell lead the Fever and Indiana is poised for a deep postseason run.
