Caitlin Clark sets WNBA rookie record, scores 23 in Fever’s win over Storm. The Indiana Fever have transformed into a rejuvenated squad following the WNBA’s Paris Olympics hiatus, securing their second straight win with a 92–75 triumph at home against the Seattle Storm on Sunday.

Guard play was the major difference in the Fever’s win, with Kelsey Mitchell scoring 27 points (hitting 5-of-8 3-pointers), Caitlin Clark tallying 23 and Lexie hull adding 22 (shooting 6-for-7 from 3). Aliyah Boston grabbed 15 rebounds for Indiana, which improved to 13-15 for the season (8-5 at home).

Clark earned her 225th career assist in the second quarter of the game, passing Ticha Penicheiro’s 1998 record for the most assists by a rookie in WNBA history.

“If you watch her highlights, she was definitely a better passer than me,” Clark said about penicheiro after the match.

Clark at her current pace could eclipse that in 11 more games. Thomas currently is second in the league in assists with 202 through 26 games. “If “If someone had told me I would lead the league in assists in my rookie season, I would have thought they were lying,” Clark stated, who also achieved 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks on Sunday.”I’m always looking for my teammates in transition, that’s where I tend to thrive the most.”

Indiana, seventh in the WNBA standings, is now 13-15, matching last season’s win total. The Fever haven’t finished with a winning record since 2015, when they went 20-14 and made the WNBA Finals.

They haven’t made the playoffs since 2016, when they were 17-17.

“We have a really balanced attack,” stated Fever guard Lexie Hull, who scored a career-high 22 points and was 6-of-7 from the three-point range on Sunday. “It’s just really fun to watch when you have Caitlin running in transition — the ball can go anywhere, anyone can knock it down, our offense is just so fluid.
