Caitlin Clark was the center of attention on Friday night as she attempted to lead the Fever to a vital victory over the Chicago Sky at the Wintrust Arena.
Clark, predictably, stepped up to the bat when it counted most. With a career-high 31 points on 8 of 14 shooting, four rebounds, twelve assists, a steal, and five threes, the Fever rookie phenom led Indiana to a decisive victory over the Sky, 100-81, no less, in Chicago. The 22-year-old Clark became the first player in WNBA history to post this kind of stat line, therefore the Fever wasted no time in showcasing his legendary performance.
Indiana concluded the post with a brazen assertion, likewise taking the mic away. The Fever wrote, “Rookie of the Year.” In fairness, Friday night’s performance wasn’t too bad for Angel Reese, who is now the only player challenging Clark for the Rookie of the Year title. The Sky forward set a new record for the most rebounds by a rookie (399 and counting) in addition to finishing with a solid double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds. In the end, though, it’s evident who prevailed in this instance.
