Caitlin Clark Named All-WNBA First Team

Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever has made history by becoming the first rookie since Candace Parker in 2008 to earn a spot on the All-WNBA first team, receiving 52 out of 67 first-team votes. Despite her impressive performance, which included leading the league with an average of 8.4 assists and scoring 19.2 points per game, one voter omitted her from their ballot entirely, prompting discussions about potential biases in voting. Clark's achievements helped the Fever reach the playoffs for the first time in several years. A'ja Wilson and Napheesa Collier were also recognized as unanimous first-team selections, while Breanna Stewart and Alyssa Thomas joined Clark on the first team. The second team featured notable players like Sabrina Ionescu and Nneka Ogwumike. Clark's rookie honors underline her significant impact on the league and the potential for her future career.
