Caitlin Clark honored for massive career milestone before Fever fall in overtime thriller
Catilin Clark is just starting her third season in the WNBA and is already being honored for major career accomplishments in a pre-game ceremony.
Is this good? I think this is good.

One of the biggest storylines this season so far came in the Fever’s season opener against the Dallas Wings when Clark scored his 1,000th career point.
He achieved this feat in just 54 games, becoming the fastest player to reach more than 1,000 points, more than 250 assists and more than 250 rebounds.

The previous mark belonged to WNBA legend Diana Taurasi, and she did it in 62 games.
So before tipoff on Friday, the team took notice of Clark’s success.
Clark didn’t wait long to continue adding to that career point tally and add to her assist total, feeding teammate and OutKick favorite Sophie Cunningham to extend the Fever’s early lead.

Clark just has the clutch gene.
