Caitlin Clark Makes WNBA History Against Atlanta Dream

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has continued to improve throughout her historic rookie season. Entering Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Dream, Clark was averaging 24.6 points, 9 rebounds and 5.6 assists on shooting splits of 47% from the floor, 40% from 3-point range and 93% from the line since the WNBA schedule resumed.

Clark is on pace to become the first player in league history to average at least 18 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds.

The 6-foot guard made WNBA history with her rebounding in Sunday’s game against Atlanta. With five rebounds, Clark broke a league record for the most rebounds by a rookie guard in a season (via StatMamba on X). She has 204 for the season with five games remaining.

Per the WNBA’s official stats, Clark entered play on Sunday second among WNBA guards in rebounds per game this season. She trails only Connecticut Sun G/F DeWanna Bonner, who entered Sunday averaging 6.4 rebounds. At 6-foot-4, Bonner is listed as both a guard and a forward by Basketball Reference.

Clark’s shooting and playmaking often receive most of the attention, but her ability on the glass has put her atop an historic WNBA list.

Clark’s all-around play has helped lead Indiana to its first playoff berth since 2016. Indiana (19-17) is in sixth place in the WNBA overall standings. The Fever look to maximize their seeding in the final weeks of the regular season.

The top-eight WNBA records make the postseason regardless of conference. Indiana is trying to hold off the Phoenix Mercury (17-19), who are seventh, and trying to catch the Seattle Storm (21-14), who are fifth.
