Caitlin Clark can add WNBA Rookie of the Year to her long list of achievements. The Indiana Fever guard earned the honor on Thursday following a nearly unanimous vote from a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters. Clark received 66 votes while Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese received a single vote.
She started in all 40 regular-season games with the Fever, averaging 19.2 points and a league-leading 8.4 assists. Her stellar play helped the Fever reach the WNBA Playoffs for the first time since 2016. While it's not part of the criteria Clark was judged on for the Rookie of the Year award, there's no doubt about her star power. Clark contributed to increased ticket sales and higher viewership — with Indiana Fever games among the most-watched of the season.
