If Caitlin Clark doesn’t break a record every time she gets onto the basketball floor, it’s hardly surprising at this point. On Wednesday, September 4, it was the same as the guard for the Indiana Fever recorded his second triple-double of the year.
Before Clark, no rookie had ever recorded a triple-double; now, she has done so twice.
Even more astounding is the fact that the 22-year-old accomplished her most recent achievement in the last seconds of the Los Angeles Sparks’ 93-86 victory on Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
In what ended up being the final play of the game, Clark pulled down her tenth rebound to seal her triple-double. As you might have heard during the broadcast, Kelsey Mitchell, a teammate of Clark’s, had an unexpected response to his most recent accomplishment. Mitchell looked unaware of the reason behind the enthusiastic applause that followed Caitlin’s seemingly routine rebound.
It’s all about Kelsey’s response to the play.
Mitchell was aware that the home crowd was pleased with the outcome because it was Indiana’s fifth straight win. The two-time All-Star, meanwhile, was also aware that the fans might not have been very thrilled with the outcome.
It’s obvious that Mitchell was unaware that Clark was attempting to record a historic triple-double.In addition to 10 rebounds, 10 assists, three steals, four three-pointers, and 10 rebounds, Clark completed the game with 24 points on 8 of 17 shooting. Clark’s response to receiving her first Player of the Month title, which was revealed earlier in the day, was ideal.
