Caitlin Clark did Caitlin Clark things against the Mystics on Wednesday, tossing a dazzling behind-the-back pass to NaLyssa Smith in transition for an easy layup.
The assist marked one of 13 Clark dished on Wednesday. She finished with 29 points, five rebounds and three blocks, too. However, she contributed a disappointing five turnovers to the Fever’s whopping 23 turnover total.
In 38 minutes, she shot 7-of-14 from the field (5-of-9 from 3-point range), knocking down 10-of-11 free throws, also. In the end, the Fever fell short of the Mystics, 89-84, moving their record to 9-14 on the season.
But Clark, despite the Fever’s poor record, is having herself a helluva rookie campaign. She, alongside fellow rookie and Sky forward Angel Reese, earned her first All-Star nod.
On July 6, Clark became the first WNBA rookie in history to record a triple-double. She notched 19 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists against the Liberty, upsetting them, 83-78.
