Caitlin Clark has made history by becoming the first rookie guard to earn All-WNBA First Team honors since Diana Taurasi in 2004, a nearly 20-year milestone. Clark’s impressive performance garnered 52 out of 67 first-team votes and 14 second-team votes.
Clark’s remarkable rookie season included leading the league in assists per game (8.4) and finishing fifth in MVP voting. Her exceptional play helped the Indiana Fever return to the postseason for the first time since 2016. Clark joins an elite group of players, including WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson and Defensive Player of the Year Napheesa Collier.
Clark’s achievement places her alongside legendary players like Sue Bird, Tamika Catchings, Candace Parker, and Diana Taurasi, who also earned All-WNBA First Team honors as rookies. This milestone solidifies Clark’s status as one of the league’s brightest stars and underscores her potential for continued success in the WNBA.
