    In addition to tying Sue Bird for the most rookie double-doubles for points and assists, Caitlin Clark actually made WNBA more history during the Indiana Fever’s recent showdown against the Las Vegas Aces.

    Although the Fever lost to the Aces, 88-69, on Tuesday, Clark made her presence felt with 13 points, six rebounds and 11 assists. She tied Bird for the most double-doubles for points and assists by a rookie with three.

    She also has the most double-doubles by a rookie guard since the WNBA's first season, per StatMamba. Overall, Clark has five double-doubles in her young career.

    Clark also became the youngest player to record a double-double in points and assists in back-to-back games. She tallied 15 points and 12 assists against the Phoenix Mercury prior to Tuesday's game in Las Vegas. The Fever rookie was 22 years and 163 days old against the Aces.

    Clark, who recently was named to the WNBA All-Star team, seems to be peaking at the right time for the Fever. Of her five doubles-doubles, four came in the past six games.

    Don’t be surprised to see Clark set more records in upcoming games.
