Report: Clark adds Rookie of the Year honor to stellar debut season

Indiana Fever sensation Caitlin Clark has been named the 2024 Rookie of the Year, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The former Iowa star led all first-years with 19.2 points per game. She also averaged a rookie-record 8.4 assists while shooting 41.7% from the floor and 34.4% from three.

The 22-year-old shattered several league records in her first professional campaign: She became the first rookie to record multiple triple-doubles and set a new single-season mark by any player with 337 total assists, helped in part by the single-game record 19 she posted in a July 17 loss to the Dallas Wings.

Clark's contributions in her debut campaign also helped reverse the Fever's fortunes, transforming them into a .500 team. They earned the sixth seed in the playoffs after finishing the 2023 campaign with a 13-27 record, putting them second-last in the league standings.
