At their first WNBA game, Olympic gold medalists Simone Biles and Gabby Thomas see Fever star Caitlin Clark set a WNBA rookie record for three-pointers.
Simone Biles picked a good night to attend her first WNBA game. Weeks after winning three gold medals and a silver at the Paris Olympics, the U.S. gymnastics great was on hand Wednesday to see Caitlin Clark break the league rookie record for three-pointers in a season as the Indiana Fever defeated the Connecticut Sun 84-80 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. 'EVERYONE WATCHES WOMENS SPORTS,' Biles wrote on X after the game.
All of that excitement capped a big night for Clark, who finished with 19 points, five points and five rebounds and made WNBA history in the first quarter with her first three-pointer of the game. With that shot, Clark passed the single-season three-point rookie record of 85, set by Atlanta's Rhyne Howard in 2022. The overall WNBA record in that category is held by New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu, who sank 128 three-pointers a year ago.
