Indiana Fever superstar guard Caitlin Clark has been named the Associated Press 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year, in addition to being named to the AP All-WNBA First Team and AP All-Rookie Team. The No. 1 overall draft selection by the Fever, Clark received each of the 15 first-place votes for the AP’s ROTY award.
As the all-time major college basketball scoring record holder, Clark entered the league with high expectations. While she struggled with efficiency, particularly early in the season, Clark eventually found her stride — as did Indiana.
As a rookie, Clark averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 8.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and shot 34.4% on threes. She was named an All-Star and broke several records along the way, including the WNBA’s single-season mark for assists, as well as setting a new high mark for rookies in points and three-pointers.
Clark and the Fever, which are in the playoffs for the first time since 2016, will begin their postseason run today vs. the Connecticut Sun at 3 p.m. ET.
