Caitlin Clark Wins 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year

Caitlin Clark, the guard for the Indiana Fever, has been named the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year. This announcement marks the second consecutive year the Fever have claimed the Rookie of the Year award, following Aliyah Boston's win in 2023. Clark garnered 66 out of 67 votes, with the remaining vote going to Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.

Clark's rookie season has been nothing short of phenomenal. She led all rookies in scoring with 19.2 points per game and topped the league with 8.4 assists per game and 122 total three-pointers. Clark made history by becoming the first rookie in WNBA history to achieve a triple-double, a feat she accomplished twice during the season.

Her impressive performance helped the Indiana Fever achieve a 20-20 record, their first .500 season in eight years, and led the team to their first postseason run since 2016. The Fever also broke viewership and attendance records, with home games drawing over 90,000 more fans than the previous league record.

Clark is joined on the 2024 All-Rookie Team by Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso, Rickea Jackson, and Leonie Fiebich. Reese, despite a season cut short by injury, set records for consecutive double-doubles and the highest rebound average in WNBA history.

The WNBA has seen significant growth in 2024, with increased viewership and attendance, partly attributed to the popularity of rookies like Clark and Reese. The league's reputation has risen significantly, with more consumers expressing interest in the WNBA than ever before.
