    INDIANAPOLIS -- As the Rookie of the Year, Caitlin Clark is headlining the 2024 WNBA All-Rookie team.

    The Indiana Fever star had a record-breaking year as a rookie: she broke the rookie scoring record with 769 points, the rookie 3-pointers made record with 122, and the leaguewide single-season assists record with 337, to name a few. She also became the first rookie to record a triple-double (and did it twice). Garnering 66 of 67 votes, she was the runaway pick for Rookie of the Year.

    Here's who joined her on the All-Rookie team:

    Angel Reese: The Chicago Sky forward got the one other ROTY vote after breaking the league record for consecutive double-doubles with 15, and broke the league single-season record for rebounds with 446. Reese missed the final five games of the season with a wrist injury, however, and MVP A'ja Wilson then broke her single-season rebounding record. Reese still led the league in rebounds per game this year with 13.1.

    Kamilla Cardoso: The No. 3 pick in the draft was sidelined for shoulder injuries at the beginning and end of the season, and she ended up playing in 32 of the Chicago Sky's 40 games. Shooting 52.1% from the field, she averaged 9.8 points and 7.9 rebounds this season.

    Rickea Jackson: The Los Angeles forward came off the bench to begin the season, but entered the starting lineup after injuries to the Sparks -- including her fellow rookie, Cameron Brink. Jackson played in all 40 games (35 starts) for the Sparks this season, averaging 13.4 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.

    Leonie Fiebich: One of the frontrunners for Sixth Player of the Year, the New York Liberty guard was originally a second-round pick in 2020 and went to play overseas for a few years before returning to the WNBA. The 24-year-old averaged 6.7 points and three rebounds in 30 games (12 starts) this season.
