NBA HQ: Stephen Curry confirm serious pressure’ from Caitlin Clark as Comparisons” grows After Fever’s Dominant Win Over Sky proved to be serious scandal in the debate…
The top guard for the Dallas Mavericks, Luka Doncic, referred to rookie sensation Caitlin Clark of the Indian Fever as the women’s Steph Curry almost five months ago today. Although it took Clark a few games to settle into a rhythm during her rookie campaign, there’s no denying that she has done so since the Olympic break. In the six games the Fever have played since the season began on August 16, Indiana is 5-1 with an average of 24 points, 8.5 assists, and 5.2 rebounds per game. Check out the Bellingham Herald’s
Clark’s best performance over that stretch came in Friday’s 100-81 win over the Chicago Sky, in which she looked much more dominant than fellow Rookie of the Year contender Angel Reese. Following Clark’s career game, social media was buzzing with fans revisiting the Steph Curry comparisons.
Clark logged 31 points, 12 assists, four rebounds and a steal while shooting 55.6% from 3-point range in 31 minutes. She’s shot 35% or better from 3-point range in four of her last six games; she did so just 12 times in her previous 26 games.
The 22-year-old rookie phenom also set three records against the Sky. Clark became the first player in WNBA history to score 30 or more points with 12 or more assists in a single game and the first player in league history with multiple career games with 25 or more points, 10 or more assists and five or more rebounds. She also broke Ticha Penicheiro’s record for most games with 10 or more assists by a rookie (10).
