Caitlin Clark joins Michael Jordan and Steph Curry on the Incredible List


Caitlin Clark joins Michael Jordan and Steph Curry on the Incredible List

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark returned from the WNBA’s extended break with a dominant performance against the Phoenix Mercury on Friday. With 29 points, 10 assists and five rebounds in the win, Clark added another incredible performance to her historic rookie season.

Clark is averaging 17.6 points, 8.3 assists and 5.8 rebounds this season and is on pace to become the only player in WNBA history to achieve those averages. In addition to breaking countless rookie records in her first WNBA season, Clark continues to break league records and lead Indiana to victories.

With her performance against Phoenix, Clark became the first rookie in WNBA history to score at least 450 points and 200 assists in a season.

Clark’s performance on Friday not only made WNBA history, but also put her on an incredible list alongside two NBA legends.

With her second career game with at least 29 points, 10 assists and five rebounds while shooting at least 70 percent, Clark becomes only the third rookie in NBA/WNBA history to do so twice, joining Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry and Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan.

This stat can be verified via Basketball Reference’s Stathead, which also shows that Clark is not only the first WNBA rookie to reach this line more than once, but also the only WNBA rookie to ever do so.

Additionally, Clark is only the second WNBA player to ever finish a game with at least 29 points, 10 assists and five rebounds while shooting at least 70 percent (Sabrina Ionescu in 2022), and she is the only player to do so more than once.
