Caitlin Clark makes WNBA history with first-ever rookie triple-double
Caitlin Clark set the latest in her long line of records on Saturday as she became the first ever WNBA rookie to notch a triple-double.
The Indiana Fever guard finished with 19 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds as her team beat the New York Liberty 83-78 thanks to a late comeback in which they went on an 11-0 run. Clark’s performance is even more impressive given the opposition: the Liberty have the best record in the WNBA this season and reached last year’s finals.
She becomes the 1st rookie in WNBA history & the 1st player in Fever history to record a triple-double, while also becoming the fastest player to 350+ PTS & 150+ AST!
The Fever started the season in abysmal form but they, and Clark, have improved in recent weeks and have won six of their last 10 games.
