It can be argued that although Caitlin Clark was out of the court on Wednesday, she presented a case that she is the most valuable player of the WNBA.
This is because in the first game of Indiana Fever without Clark since he suffered a quadruple injury, the fever suffered his worst loss of the young WNBA season.
Washington’s mystics knocked down the fever without Clark, 83-77, Wednesday night.

The fever began to be hot, going to an advantage of 10-4 and even leading for five at one point during the second quarter.
But from 5:47 they were in the second until 5:03 that remained in the regulation, the mystics exceeded the fever, 46-32. His 11-point advantage (73-62) was the largest in the night until the garbage time is launched with less than a remaining minute.
Indiana scored seven points in the last 22 seconds to avoid a two -digit loss, but most of the last 25 minutes were all mystics.

Angel Reese ‘not the villain’ in the narrative of Caitlin Clark, Jamele Hill says that in the middle of the growing rivalry of the WNBA
The two previous defeats of the fever this season arrived at three combined points: they lost to one against Atlanta’s dream and two to the reigning champion of New York Liberty. The fever had the ball in recent seconds in both competitions.
Its 77 points are the lowest they have scored throughout the season, too. They had previously scored 93, 90, 81 and 88.
Clark is scheduled to lose at least two weeks with a right quadruple lesion. In its first four games, the fever points differential was +37.
The former Iowa Hawkeye averaged 19.0 points, 9.3 assists and 6.0 rebounds in his four games of the 2025 season. Last year, he established the record of a single season for most of the assists in a year, on the way to win the rookie of the year. Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell tied with four assists at night. The fever as a whole was only 15 at night: Clark had a WNBA record on July 17 last year.
Dewanna Bonner left 21 points from the bank, leading fever.

Clark scored 27 points last Tuesday against sleep. She dropped more than 20 points in each of her first two games before settling for only 11 on Thursday and then 18 on Saturday against La Libertad.
