    Caitlin Clark continues to make WNBA history at every turn.

    In Tuesday evening's loss to the reigning-champion Las Vegas Aces, Clark recorded 13 points and 11 assists — marking her third points-assists double-double in the last four games.

    With this feat, Clark matched WNBA legend Sue Bird for the most points-assists double-doubles by a rookie in league history.

    The Indiana Fever rookie still has the rest of the 2024 season to break the tie.

    Clark set her career high in assists with 13 during a loss to the Chicago Sky last Sunday. Since then, the No. 1 overall pick has been dropping double-digit dimes left and right.

    Clark is averaging 16.0 points and 7.1 assists per game so far this season. Bird finished her 2002 rookie season averaging 14.4 points and 6.0 assists per game.

    Clark and the Fever will look to bounce back in their next matchup against the New York Liberty on Saturday afternoon.
