Caitlin Clark has broken yet another Indiana Fever record.
She set the franchise’s rookie scoring mark, previously held by Tamika Catchings since 2002.
Clark scored 28 points in the Fever’s 100-93 win over the Dallas Wings on Sunday, with her record-breaking basket coming at 3:13 left in the first half. With a three-pointer, she reached her 595th career point, surpassing Catchings’ long-standing record.
Former Lynx star Seimone Augustus holds the all-time WNBA rookie scoring record with 744 points.
This is just the latest in a series of records Clark has shattered this season since being drafted first overall by the Fever out of Iowa.

The year Catchings set the franchise rookie record, she also won WNBA Rookie of the Year.
Clark seems to be on her way to earning that nod as well this season as she’s averaged 18.4 points per game and shot better than 40 percent from the floor.
“You know when I walked in before the game, there were just hundreds of fans lined up. What Caitlin Clark has done for the game is generational,” Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman said during the telecast. “As a baller to a baller, I just want to say thank you to you, Caitlin Clark. For just lifting our game up. You and so many great players.”

Clark’s impact has been unmistakable, drawing massive crowds to arenas to watch her and the Fever play.
Sunday’s game in Dallas was no exception, with the Fever’s win pushing them above .500 for the season.
Among the spectators was what seemed to be Dallas-area sports talk host Tom Gribble, also known as “Scoops Callahan,” adding to the excitement of the event.
Gribble has gone around asking prank questions to athletes in a stereotypical 1920s reporter-style way.
The joke didn’t land with Clark and a PR person quickly asked for another question.
