If Saturday`s (PH Time) performance was any indication of what Indiana Fever rookie phenom Caitlin Clark has in store for the second half of the season, the rest of the WNBA better look out.


Clark broke multiple records in her first game back from the Olympic break, pushing the Fever to a 98-89 win over the Phoenix Mercury to keep their playoff push going.


The 22-year-old Clark scored a team-high 29 points along with 10 assists and five rebounds, becoming the first player in WNBA history with 50 or more points and 25 or more assists over any two-game span as per StatMamba.

 

Thanks to Clark’s dominant first-half performance, the superstar also became the first rookie in WNBA history with 450 or more points and 200 or more assists in a single season, becoming just the sixth player in league history to do so.
