What happened: The WNBA has named Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson as the Players of the Week for the Eastern and Western Conferences, respectively. Clark averaged 25.3 points and 6.7 assists during a 3-0 week for the Fever, while Wilson recorded 30.0 points and 9.0 rebounds per game to lead the Aces to a perfect weekly record.

Why it matters: The accolades underscore the dominant form of two of the league's top statistical leaders as they solidify their playoff positioning.
