Clark scored a career-high 35 points in the Indiana Fever's final home game of the year to push her season point total to 761. She still has another game to extend her lead on Seimone Augustus, who set the record 18 years ago with the Minnesota Lynx.

Before tipoff, Fever head coach Christie Sides appeared unsure of the right path to take with the team's key starters in a non-consequential game against Washington. While Sides said she'd be "cautious" with their minutes, she also didn't want to ruin the team's momentum.

Kelsey Mitchell played just four minutes and Caitlin Clark sat most of the second half in the regular-season finale which didn't matter for the Fever.
