Caitlyn Clark continues to make history.

On Saturday, she became the first WNBA rookie to record a triple-double.

It was also the first triple-double in franchise history. Clark is the 17th player to record a triple-double in a WNBA game. It has been done 38 times in WNBA history.

Clark is also the fastest player to reach 350+ points and 150+ assists in WNBA history.

Clark has become the -650 favorite at DraftKings to win Rookie of the Year. The Chicago Sky's Angel Reese is +400. Clark is +12000 to win WNBA MVP.

Earlier this week, Clark was -550 to win MVP at ESPN BET while Angel Reese was +350.

"My rookie of the year is going to go based on the standings. … And the Sky right now are in the playoffs. So, you'd have to give the nod in my mind to Angel Reese."

The Fever, after a slow start, are 6-4 in their last 10 games and are slowly working their way back up the standings.
