Caitlin Clark has started her WNBA career on a historic scoring pace. That was even more evident when she passed a big scoring milestone on Saturday.
In the Indiana Fever's season opener against the Dallas Wings on Saturday, Clark scored the 1,000th regular-season point of her WNBA career. She did it in style, with a whirling-dervish finish at the rim to end the third quarter. This was a mark that Clark would've achieved much sooner had she not missed a majority of last season with a litany of injuries.
Clark got her 1,000 points in just 54 career games, tied for the third-fastest player to do that in WNBA history. Cynthia Cooper accomplished it in 45 games, while Seimone Augustus did it in 46 games. Clark is tied with Fever franchise legend Tamika Catchings, who also got her 1,000 points in 54 games.
The 2024 Rookie of the Year is looking to remain healthy and help lead Indiana to postseason success. She's now knocked off another important career milestone. There's going to be plenty more of these before she's done.
