Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark wrote another chapter of her historic WNBA rookie season on Wednesday. Notching her second career triple-double in a win over the Los Angeles Sparks, Clark became just the sixth player in WNBA history with multiple career triple-doubles (via StatMamba on X).

Already the only rookie in WNBA history to record even one triple-double, Clark continues to break new records. Named Eastern Conference Player of the Month prior to Wednesday’s win, Clark carried that momentum into the game against Los Angeles.

Tallying 24 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds against the Sparks, Clark is now averaging 18.9 points, 8.4 assists and 5.8 rebounds on the season.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has been a vocal supporter of Clark throughout her rookie season, and shared a five-word reaction to her triple-double on Instagram.

Via @kingjames: “Hi HATERS!!!!!! I love it.”

While both are incredibly unique, James and Clark each entered their respective leagues with unprecedented hype.

Clark has a long career ahead of her, but she is amid a historic rookie campaign, much like James was in 2003 when he averaged 20.9 points, 5.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds en route to Rookie of the Year. Clark, who is among the frontrunners for Rookie of the Year, has strengthened her case since the Olympic break.

Since the WNBA schedule resumed, Clark is averaging 24.5 points, 9.1 assists and 5.6 rebounds on 47.8 percent from the field and 38.8 percent from three.

More important than Clark’s individual production has been Indiana’s 7-1 record since the break that has them in sole possession of the sixth seed.
