On Saturday afternoon, Clark became the first WNBA rookie to ever record a triple-double. Clark already had 16 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds in the fourth quarter, so all she needed was one more rebound.
It didn’t take long for Clark to grab her 10th board of the game. Onсе it happened, the crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse erupted into a frenzy. Clearly, they were aware of the fact that history was just made.
We’d have to imagine Clark will be asked about setting a couple of WNBA records during her postgame press conference. And if we had to guess, she’ll probably be concerned about the outcome of the game.
