Caitlin Clark Makes History: First WNBA Rookie with Triple-Double, Fever Defeat Liberty

Caitlin Clark made history on July 6, 2024, as she became the first rookie in WNBA history to record a triple-double. The Indiana Fever star achieved this feat during their game against the New York Liberty with an impressive performance of 19 points, 13 assists, and 12 rebounds. Clark's historic night also marked the first triple-double in Fever history.

The Fever's defense was equally noteworthy as they held the league-leading Liberty to a shooting percentage of 40.3% from the field and just 23.7% from three-point range. Clark herself has averaged an impressive 16 points, 7.1 assists, and 5.7 rebounds in her first 21 games for the Fever.

Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky also made headlines by tying Candace Parker's WNBA record with a streak of twelve consecutive double-doubles against the Seattle Storm. Meanwhile, Rickea Jackson ranks third among all rookies in scoring average (10.4 points per game) and has had eleven games with double-digit points this year.

Kamilla Cardoso averages 8.4 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, second among rookies in rebounds, while Aaliyah Edwards is fourth in scoring average (8.6 points per game).

Despite her team's loss to the Fever, Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Liberty expressed disappointment and called it their 'Super Bowl game.' The Liberty had previously beaten Indiana three times this season.

Clark received significant support from her teammates Kelsey Mitchell (18 points) and Aaliyah Boston (14 points), helping the Fever overcome a troubling trend of three consecutive losses to the Liberty in just 17 days, two of which were by margins exceeding 35 points.

    The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it mentions that 'Clark became the fastest player in league history to reach 350 points and 150 assists, doing so in her 22nd game to Bird's 25th.' This statement implies that being faster than Sue Bird at reaching this milestone is significant, but it does not provide any information about why this milestone is important or how it relates to Clark's performance. Additionally, the article makes a hasty generalization when it states 'Improvement will come, and that's more illustrative with wins than by pouring in points.' This statement is not supported by any evidence presented in the article.
