Everyone inside Indiana’s Gainbridge Fieldhouse erupted when Caitlin Clark ripped down her 10th rebound in the waning moments of a win over the visiting Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday night.
Clark matched the crowd’s excitement with her own reaction, beaming ear-to-ear as she secured the ball and her second career WNBA triple-double.
Like everyone else in the building, Clark knew the historical significance of that rebound.
Clark became the first rookie in WNBA history to record a triple-double when she did so earlier this year. With Wednesday night’s 24-point, 10-assist, 10-rebound performance, she became the first rookie to record multiple in her debut season.
Clark’s live reaction to her final rebound is going viral on social media.
Clark’s triple-double performance led the Fever to its fifth straight victory. It also marked her third straight game with at least 20 points and 10 assists.
