Indiana Fever rookie guard Caitlin Clark continues to make history with her remarkable shooting skills. On Thursday night, during a game against the Washington Mystics, Clark hit her 122nd 3-pointer of the season, surpassing Phoenix Mercury legend Diana Taurasi’s 2006 mark of 121 for the second-most 3-pointers made in a single WNBA season.
While New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu still holds the top spot with 128 3-pointers made in 2023, Clark is quickly cementing her place in the WNBA record books, trailing Ionescu by just a few shots.
This feat is another highlight in a stellar rookie season for Clark, whose long-range shooting has been a game-changer for the Fever. As Indiana gears up for the 2024 playoffs, fans can expect even more 3-pointers from the rising star. Clark’s ability to break records in her first year only hints at what’s to come in her already bright WNBA future.
With her second 3PM of the game, Caitlin Clark now has 122 on the year, which gives her the second-most in a single season in WNBA history as she surpasses Diana Taurasi’s 121 3PM in 2006 (34 game season).Sabrina Ionescu’s 128 in 2023 is the league record pic.twitter.com/0kKlWuaEQT
