What were Caitlin Clark’s stats today?

Caitlin Clark points and assists vs Dream

  • Points: 17 (ESPN)
  • Assists: 8 (ESPN)
  • Rebounds: 7 (ESPN)
  • Blocks: 1 (Bleacher Report)

Clark opened the game 0‑of‑3 from three‑point range before hitting one later, according to USA Today. She finished 6‑of‑14 from the field overall (42.9%), with five turnovers.

Caitlin Clark shooting percentage

  • Field goals: 6‑of‑14 (42.9%) – ball‑handling under pressure
  • Three‑pointers: 1‑of‑5 (20%) – slow start from deep
  • Free throws: 4‑of‑5 (80%) – clutch at the line

ESPN’s recap noted that Clark’s playmaking kept the offense afloat even when her shot was off. The implication: even on an off shooting night, her court vision and passing were decisive.

The trade‑off

Clark’s scoring efficiency (42.9% FG) was below her season average, but she generated 18 points off assists. For the Fever, that distribution compensates for cold shooting from a primary scorer.

Why did Angel Reese get suspended from the WNBA?

As of publication, the WNBA has not issued an official statement regarding Angel Reese’s suspension. Earlier reports indicated she was nearing the technical foul limit, but no disciplinary action has been confirmed. The status remains unclear, and fans should watch for league announcements.

The pattern: technical‑foul accumulation is a known trigger for one‑game suspensions, but without an official source, this counts as a rumor rather than a confirmed fact.

What to watch

If Reese does receive a suspension, the Dream will lose their leading rebounder (11.4 RPG, Indianapolis Star) for a game – a significant hole in Atlanta’s frontcourt.

How to watch Fever vs Dream tonight?

The game was broadcast nationally on Prime Video with tip‑off at 7:00 PM ET on Thursday, June 4, 2026. For fans catching a replay, the full game is available on‑demand through the Prime Video app. Local radio coverage was provided by 107.5 FM in Indianapolis and 92.9 FM in Atlanta.

No suspension or alternative viewing sources have been confirmed beyond the original broadcast.

Who is replacing Caitlin Clark in All Star Game?

No official replacement has been announced as of this writing. Reports have mentioned Brittney Sykes and Brionna Jones as potential nominees, but these names remain speculation without league confirmation. The WNBA typically announces replacements through its official channels.

The catch: if Clark’s injury (undisclosed) sidelines her, the reserve pool will shift, affecting roster balance for the All‑Star Game.

Why this matters

Clark’s absence would change the All‑Star Game’s guard rotation and viewership draw. Her record‑tying pace (fastest to 150+ pts & 50+ ast) made her a marquee name – replacement choices will be scrutinized.

What are the key team stats for Dream vs Fever?

A quarter‑by‑quarter breakdown shows where the Fever took control.

Quarter Fever Dream
1st 15 15
2nd 23 14
3rd 24 22
4th 21 20
Final 83 71

Data from ESPN Box Score. The Fever outscored the Dream by nine points in the second quarter, a stretch that included Kelsey Mitchell’s 11‑point run. The Dream never got closer than six points in the second half.

On the individual side, Caitlin Clark (17‑8‑7) and Angel Reese (11‑10‑3) both posted double‑double lines. Aliyah Boston added 19 points and 7 rebounds for Indiana (ESPN).

What this means: Indiana’s depth – Mitchell’s scoring burst, Boston’s inside presence, Clark’s playmaking – overwhelmed a Dream team that relied heavily on Reese’s boards and transition buckets.

Quotes from the game

“It was a complete team effort tonight. Everyone contributed, and when the shots weren’t falling early, we trusted each other.”

Caitlin Clark, post‑game availability (ESPN coverage)

“She’s one of the most exciting players in the league. I love watching her read the floor – she sees passes nobody else sees.”

Nikola Jokić, on Caitlin Clark (Fox News/OutKick)

“We couldn’t stop Mitchell in the third. She got hot and we never recovered.”

Unnamed Dream assistant coach, ESPN recap

The thread connecting these quotes is respect: teammates and opponents alike acknowledge Clark’s playmaking and Mitchell’s scoring burst as the game’s turning points.

What this means going forward

Indiana snapped a two‑game losing streak and improved to 5‑4, while Atlanta dropped to 6‑3. For the Fever, the formula is clear: when Mitchell and Boston complement Clark, the offense becomes difficult to contain. For the Dream, the loss exposed a dependence on Reese’s rebounding and a lack of consistent secondary scoring. The next matchup between these teams could shift the Southeast standings. For WNBA fans, the takeaway is equally clear: bet on depth over star power in a seven‑game series, or watch the Dream’s frontcourt get exploited again.
