Caitlin Clark Joins Steph Curry on Historic List at Fever-Sparks

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark was named the WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month for August on Wednesday. She followed that announcement with a dominant performance against the Los Angeles Sparks, leading Indiana to its fifth straight win.

Clark, who had her second career triple-double, finished with 24 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds, three steals and four 3-pointers against Los Angeles. That performance made WNBA history in a few different ways, including:

@StatMamba’s post on X: “Caitlin Clark became the 6th player in WNBA history to record multiple triple-doubles in her career.”

@StatMamba’s post on X: “Caitlin Clark is the first player in WNBA history to record 200+ AST 100+ 3PM”

With this performance, Clark not only made her mark in WNBA history in many ways, but also made her mark in basketball history.

With 24 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds, three steals and four 3-pointers, Clark became just the third rookie in NBA/WNBA history to record those points or more in a single game, joining Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry (2010) and NBA legend Jason Kidd (1995).via Basketball Reference’s StatHead).

Clark, who is in the running for WNBA Rookie of the Year, appears to be a strong candidate for All-WNBA First Team honors.
