Caitlin Clark’s Historic Achievement
Caitlin Clark, playing for the Indiana Fever, reached this historic milestone during a game against the Los Angeles Sparks. With 6:06 left in the third quarter, Clark nailed her 100th three-pointer of the season, making her the fastest player in WNBA history to achieve this feat1. This record-breaking performance places her in elite company, as she is only the sixth player in the league’s history to record 100 three-pointers in a single season.
Impact on the Indiana Fever
Clark’s exceptional shooting has been a significant factor in the Indiana Fever’s success this season. The team has secured its first WNBA playoff berth since 2016, thanks in large part to Clark’s contributions. Her ability to consistently score from beyond the arc has made her a crucial asset to the team, helping them achieve a winning record for the first time in over five years.
Breaking Multiple Records
In addition to her three-point shooting prowess, Clark has set several other records during her rookie season. She recorded the league’s first triple-double by a rookie and set the record for the most assists in a single game with 19 against the Dallas Wings. Her all-around performance has not only made her a frontrunner for the WNBA Rookie of the Year award but has also garnered her consideration for MVP votes.
