Caitlin Clark has earned considerable acclaim from her Indiana Fever teammates and fans alike after being distinguished as a member of the 2024 All-WNBA First Team. With this achievement, Clark has made history as the first rookie in 16 years to receive this honor, following the trailblazing Candace Parker, the last player to reach this feat back in 2008.
Her Fever teammate, Katie Lou Samuelson, took to social media to celebrate this momentous occasion. Posting a heartwarming picture of Clark alongside her daughter on her Instagram story, Samuelson wrote, “Shoutout to the babysitter @caitlinclark22, First Team All WNBA (check emoji).”
In a display of camaraderie, Clark responded with a lovely message, saying, “love you hehe (heart emojis).”
This season, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year made her mark on the All-WNBA First Team, which also featured luminaries such as A’ja Wilson from the Las Vegas Aces, Breanna Stewart from the New York Liberty, Napheesa Collier from the Minnesota Lynx, and Alyssa Thomas from the Connecticut Sun.
Clark garnered considerable traction in the voting process, securing 52 First Team votes along with 14 Second Team votes, ultimately amassing a total of 302 points.
This accolade was no stroke of luck for Clark, as she showcased her remarkable skills throughout her rookie campaign. The former Iowa standout dazzled on the court, averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game while setting new records and hitting significant milestones.
Reflecting on her remarkable achievements, Clark maintained a humble perspective when discussing her recent awards and record-breaking performances.
She expressed her appreciation for the Indiana Fever, which has allowed her to play authentically and freely.
She highlighted that achieving records stems from playing the sport correctly rather than chasing personal glory.
In her own words, “I mean, it’s not even something that you’re really ever aware of, you know, breaking records. It’s just something that comes with playing the game the right way,” Clark remarked in a video shared by the Fever through its official X (formerly Twitter) account.
“I just come out here and try to play basketball in a way that people love watching, the way that it is going to make my team successful and the records and whatever or the stats, that’s just what comes with it, but at the end of the day, I feel very thankful to be in a position and on a franchise that has really allowed me to really be myself and to come in here and try to uplift this team in every way that I can.”
Throughout the 2024 season, Clark featured in all 42 games for the Fever, including their two playoff showdowns against the Connecticut Sun. She played a pivotal role in propelling Indiana back to the playoffs, putting an end to an eight-year postseason drought.
