While Clark made WNBA history in several different ways with this performance, she also made basketball history.
With 24 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds, three steals and four three-pointers, Clark joined Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry (2010) and NBA legend Jason Kidd (1995) as the third rookie in NBA/WNBA history to record that mark or better in a single game (via StatHead of Basketball Reference).
Coming away with the WNBA Rookie of the Year award, Clark has a good chance of earning All-WNBA First Team honors.
