The Caitlin Clark effect was in full force in the 2024 WNBA season, with the Indiana Fever star making an immediate impact in her first campaign. By no surprise, the former Iowa standout was also named the Rookie of the Year, finishing just one vote off being the unanimous winner. Angel Reese received only one vote.

Following the announcement, Indiana Pacers stars Tyrese Haliburton, Obi Toppin, and Myles Turner gave Clark credit for her historic season:

Clark broke numerous records in Year 1 and is already the most popular player in the WNBA. She's brought more eyes to the league and the best is still yet to come from the guard.

Turner, Toppin, and Haliburton all took in the action many times this season since the Fever also play at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. They know just how talented Caitlin Clark really is, along with the entire sports world.

The rookie took the Fever to the playoffs for the first time since 2016 and although they lost in the first round, Clark's presence was felt all year. She finished '24 with averages of 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds on 41.7% shooting from the field.

Here's a glimpse into some of the records she broke, via ESPN:

▪︎ Most points by a point guard in a season in WNBA history.

▪︎ Most double-doubles by a rookie guard in WNBA history.

▪︎ Most points by a rookie in WNBA history.
