In this story:
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark continued her historic WNBA rookie season in Friday night’s game against the Chicago Sky. Up against Angel Reese and a Sky roster that entered play having lost four-straight games, Clark and the Fever saw an opportunity to put more separation between them and their Eastern Conference rivals.
Turning in another incredible performance in this game, Clark finished with 31 points, 12 assists, four rebounds, and five made threes.
Now with two career games of at least 25 points, 12 assists, four rebounds, and five made threes, Clark is not only the first WNBA rookie to reach those numbers in a single game, but she joins Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry as the only otherrookie in WNBA/NBA history to record such a game more than once.

PerĀ Basketball Referenceās StatHead, Curry recorded two such games his rookie season. No other NBA or WNBA rookie had done it more than once until Clark on Friday night.
