While the 2024 WNBA season for the Indiana Fever, and Caitlin Clark, ended three weeks ago when they were swept by the Connecticut Sun in the postseason, the star guard continues to add to what was a historic rookie season. After being named 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year two weeks ago, Clark was named to the All-WNBA First Team on Wednesday.
With the honor, Clark becomes just the fifth rookie in the 28-year history of the league to make the first team. She’s the first since Candace Parker received the same honor in 2008, and joins a list that includes Diana Taurasi (2004), Sue Bird (2002) and Tamika Catchings (2002). Those previous four would go on to garner a combined 29 First-Team All-WNBA selections, with each making it at least five times in their respective careers. Thus, there’s a high bar for getting this accolade, but Clark has surpassed just about every expectation set for her since being the No. 1 overall pick in this spring’s draft.
