Caitlin Clark has become the first rookie in the history of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) to record a triple-double. Clark achieved this remarkable feat during a game against the New York Liberty, leading her team to an 83-78 victory.
Clark racked up an impressive stat line of 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 13 assists — a feat no other rookie in the league’s history has accomplished. Her all-around contribution was instrumental in securing the win for the Fever.
But Clark’s historic achievement didn’t stop there. In the process of leading her team to victory, she outplayed two senior players who have been selected for the upcoming Olympics — Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty.
