Dave Portnoy makes it clear Caitlin Clark is his WNBA MVP
Share your love
Dave Portnoy made his feelings about the WNBA MVP race unmistakably clear after Caitlin Clark delivered another history-making performance for the Indiana Fever against the Atlanta Dream. The Barstool Sports founder publicly declared Clark as his choice for the league’s top individual honor, adding his voice to the growing conversation surrounding one of the most competitive MVP races in recent memory.
Clark strengthened her résumé with another outstanding all-around effort, helping lead Indiana to another important victory while continuing her record-breaking season. The Fever guard once again showcased the unique combination of elite scoring and playmaking that has transformed Indiana into one of the WNBA’s most dangerous teams. Her latest performance added another milestone to an already remarkable campaign, reinforcing her status as one of the league’s most dynamic players.
Portnoy reacted quickly after the game, making it clear on social media that Clark sits atop his MVP ballot. The outspoken media personality has consistently supported Clark throughout her professional career, frequently praising her influence on the league and her ability to deliver in the biggest moments. His latest endorsement came after another performance that highlighted Clark’s importance to Indiana’s success and further intensified discussions surrounding the award race.
Clark’s case continues to grow stronger with every game. She recently became the fifth player in WNBA history to record 23 career games with at least 25 points and five assists while extending her own single-season record with her 12th game reaching those benchmarks this year. Her ability to consistently generate offense for both herself and her teammates has separated her from many of the league’s top guards and kept the Fever firmly in the playoff picture.

The MVP race remains highly competitive, with several established stars putting together outstanding seasons of their own. Still, Clark’s combination of individual production, historic milestones and impact on Indiana’s turnaround has kept her firmly in the discussion. Analysts continue to debate where she belongs in the race, but her recent performances have undoubtedly strengthened her candidacy as the regular season enters its final stretch.
Whether Clark ultimately captures the league’s highest individual honor remains to be seen, but her latest performance only added momentum to an already impressive campaign. Portnoy’s endorsement reflected what many Fever supporters have believed throughout the season, that Clark has performed at an MVP level while helping elevate Indiana back into contention. As the postseason approaches, every standout outing will continue shaping one of the most closely watched award races in the WNBA.
