Caitlin Clark Breaks Multiple WNBA Records in Fever’s Win vs. Mercury

If Friday’s performance was any indication of what Indiana Fever rookie phenom Caitlin Clark has ins tore for the second half of the season, the rest of the WNBA better look out.

Clark broke multiple records in her first game back from the Olympic break as the Fever cruised to a 98-89 win over the Phoenix Mercury, most notable being Diana Taurasi's rookie record for most games with 25 or more points, five or more assists and five or more rebounds.

Taurasi had three such games during her rookie year in 2004 and Clark already has four.

The 22-year-old Clark scored a team-high 29 points along with 10 assists and five rebounds, becoming the first player in WNBA history with 50 or more points and 25 or more assists over any two-game span (she has 53 points and 29 assists in her last two games), according to StatMamba .

Clark also became the only rookie in WNBA history with multiple games of 25 or more points and 10 or more assists. For context, she has two this season and prior to that, it only happened one time ever before.

She also tied the WNBA record for most games in a season with 25+ points and 10+ rebounds.

Thanks to Clark’s dominant first-half performance, she also became he first rookie in WNBA history with 450 or more points and 200 or more assists in a single season (she’s also just the sixth player in league history to record such numbers in a season.)
