Caitlin Clark Sets Record as Fastest WNBA Rookie to Reach 100 Assists Since Sue Bird
In a remarkable feat, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has become the fastest WNBA rookie to reach 100 assists since Sue Bird in 2002. Clark accomplished this milestone in just 17 games, showcasing her exceptional playmaking skills and solidifying her place in the league.
Clark’s historic performance didn’t stop there. She also became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 250 points and 100 assists, further highlighting her impact on the court. This achievement came during a game attended by a franchise-record 17,575 fans in Atlanta, underscoring her growing popularity and influence.
The Indiana Fever, who had a tough start to the season with a 1-8 record in May, are now on a four-game winning streak. Clark’s consistent performance, including at least six assists in each of these wins, has been crucial to the team’s turnaround. Her synergy with teammate Aliyah Boston, who has overcome her early-season struggles, has been a key factor in the Fever’s recent success.
Selected as the first pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, Clark’s rookie season is already proving to be extraordinary. Her ability to draw fans and set attendance records echoes her college days and bodes well for the Fever and the WNBA.
Clark’s remarkable achievements and her rising stardom make her a strong contender for a spot in the All-Star Game this year. As Indiana continues to find its stride, Clark’s contributions on and off the court are undeniably making a significant impact.
