Clark’s return to the court
Caitlin Clark finished yesterday’s tough loss against the Wings with 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists, showing flashes of her signature playmaking despite the result. It was a highly anticipated return for the star guard, especially considering her last official appearance on the court dates back to July 2025.

Entering WNBA history
Although Caitlin Clark still has a long way to go in her WNBA career, it already appears she could eventually climb into the league’s all-time leading scorers. Currently, the 10th spot in the Top 10 is held by Candace Parker with 6,574 points.
While the podium remains headlined by Diana Taurasi (10,646), Tina Charles (8,396), and DeWanna Bonner (7,807), Clark is steadily climbing the ranks of the league’s most elite scorers.
