Fever’s Caitlin Clark earns unanimous Rookie of the Year, other special honors

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.
