Caitlin Clark Makes WNBA History as First Rookie to Achieve 25/5/5 in a Single Game**

• Caitlin Clark, the rising star of the WNBA, has made history by becoming the first rookie to record an outstanding performance of 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in a single game. The 22-year-old Iowa native, already celebrated for her dynamic college career, continues to elevate her play in the professional league, setting new standards for rookies and inspiring a new generation of basketball fans.

 

In a recent game against the seasoned Phoenix Mercury, Clark showcased her all-around abilities, dominating both ends of the court. Her scoring was nothing short of spectacular, with precision shooting from beyond the arc, as well as relentless drives to the basket. She finished the game with 27 points, shooting 10-of-18 from the field, including 4-of-7 from three-point range.

 

Clark also contributed significantly on the defensive end, pulling down 6 rebounds, including key offensive boards that led to second-chance points for her team. Her court vision was on full display, dishing out 7 assists, setting up her teammates for easy baskets and creating space for others to operate. Her leadership and ability to impact the game in multiple ways have already drawn comparisons to some of the WNBA’s greatest players, like Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi.

 

This milestone is particularly impressive given the high level of competition in the WNBA and the pressure that comes with being a highly touted rookie. Clark’s transition from the NCAA to the WNBA has been seamless, with her continuing to display the same poise, confidence, and flair that made her a standout at the University of Iowa.

 

After the game, Clark humbly shared her excitement: “It’s an honor to be mentioned among the greats, but this is just the beginning. I’m focused on helping my team win and getting better every day.”

 

Her historic performance not only cements her as one of the brightest young talents in the league but also raises the bar for future rookies in the WNBA. Fans, analysts, and fellow players alike are eagerly watching as Caitlin Clark’s professional career continues to unfold with promise.
