How many points did Caitlin Clark score? Rookie has career high in win over Dallas Wings
View Date:2024-12-23 23:55:26
Caitlin Clark set a WNBA rookie scoring record and the Indiana Fever locked up the sixth playoff seed with a 110-109 win over the Dallas Wings on Sunday, as Clark scored a career-high 35 points.
Clark broke an 18-year-old record late in the third quarter on a deep 3, a bucket that gave her 746 regular-season points in her first year as a pro. That topped the previous record of 744 points, set in 2006 by Seimone Augustus.
Indiana's 110 points on Sunday was also a season high for the Fever. The victory gave Indiana 20 wins in 2024, its first 20-win season since 2015.
By finishing with 35 points — plus eight assists and three steals, with only five turnovers — Clark now has 761 points going into her final regular-season game on Thursday at Washington.
Clark shot 10-of-22 from the field, including 6-of-14 from 3. She came into Sunday with more made 3s (114) than anyone else in the WNBA, adding to that total in the win.
Clark has set numerous records this season, including the WNBA rookie record for assists in a season, the league record for total assists in a season and the single-game assist record. Additionally, attendance records have been set all season in Indianapolis as well as nearly every road arena that Clark has played in.
It’s possible that Sunday was the last game the Fever will play at home this season. In the WNBA first-round playoffs, lower-seeded teams play at higher-seeded teams’ home arenas for Games 1 and 2; the only way the Fever would host a playoff game is if Indiana upsets the No. 3 seed on the road.
The WNBA playoffs start Sept. 22.
