Caitlin Clark continues to write WNBA history: another spectacular record in latest Fever game
The WNBA star has not stopped writing her name into the history books since she took the leap the professional basketball.
Caitlin Clark set the dominos falling before she even joined the WNBA and since then she hasn’t stopped. The 23-year-old has just broken another record in what is only her 52nd game at the professional level, this time after recording 14 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 steals.
And the Iowa native hasn’t done this once, but twice, becoming the first player to achieve this feat in more than one match, after Alyssa Thomas, who is a 14-13-5 record holder on one occasion.
Clark’s latest show of talent came against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings, who were thumped 102-83 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Fever scored 64 points in the first half — the most by any team in a half so far this season which meant that Indiana led by 22 at the break.
‘I didn’t shoot it as good as I would have liked’
The guard is delivering another stellar season for the Indiana Fever, currently averaging 16.9 points, 8.6 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game across 11 contests. While battling through quad and groin injuries that sidelined her for around 10 games, she managed to maintain elite numbers.
The Fever currently stand at 11–10, sitting third in the Eastern Conference, and on a two‑game winning streak. Offensively, they average 84.5 points per game, ranking 4th in the league; the team travel to Boston to face the Connecticut Sun, 8 p.m., Tuesday, July 15.
“I still probably didn’t shoot it as good as I would have liked, but I feel like it’s coming. Just trying to continue to get my legs under me,” admitted Clark, “I thought my playmaking was really good. There was no reason for me to really shoot that much. ... [We were] just very balanced, and people executed.”
