Caitlin Clark Joins Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry on Historic Rookie List.
Caitlin Clark continued her astonishing rookie campaign with a win over the Phoenix Mercury on Friday night.
In the Indiana Fever’s 98-89 win, Clark dropped 29 points — coming just one point shy of her WNBA career high. She also chipped in with 10 assists, recording yet another points-assists double-double in her debut professional season.
Clark continues to shatter all-time WNBA records at every turn. And on Friday night, she joined some elite NBA company as well.
Clark is now one of three players in WNBA/NBA history to record at least 29 points, 10 assists and five rebounds on multiple occasions during their rookie campaign — joining NBA legends Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry.
Jordan accomplished that feat twice. Curry did it four times.
Clark has two with a significant portion of the 2024 WNBA season left to play.
Clark, the clear frontrunner for WNBA Rookie of the Year, leads the league with 8.3 assists per game. She needs just three more assists to break Ticha Penicheiro’s all-time rookie assist record (225).
Clark and the Fever will face off against the Seattle Storm in a highly-anticipated matchup on Sunday afternoon.
