Ever since the WNBA All-Star break, Caitlin Clark has been on a tear. The Fever are 4-1 in the three week period, and Clark has scored 19-plus points in all five contests heading into Friday’s game against the Sky. 

In the team’s last game against the Connecticut Sun, a narrow 84-80 win, nine of Clark’s 19 points came from behind the arc. One of her threes broke the rookie record for 3-pointers in a single season, marking her 86th basket from deep.

Friday’s matchup against Chicago marks the fourth time this season Clark has played against fellow rookie Angel Reese. As the Rookie of the Year race heats up and both teams vie for playoff spots, all eyes will be on what could be the final rivalry meeting between the two budding stars this year.

The contest in Chicago will be yet another chance for both players to make their case for the award while fighting for a divisional victory. Here’s everything to know about Clark’s performance against the Sky, including how many points she scored, her stats, results, highlights and more.

Clark might have solidified her bid for Rookie of the Year against the Sky, dominating on the offensive end with a career-high 31 points and 12 assists. It would mark her 10th double-double of the season on a night where she also contributed four boards.

She not only hit five 3-pointers and led all scorers, but she also went 8-for-14 from the field and looked sharp on the defensive end as well. And, with her 10th assist of the night, Clark also passed Ticha Penicheiro for the more 10-plus assist games by a rookie in WNBA history.

Additionally, she became the first WNBA player ever to have multiple career games with more than 25 points, 10 assists and five 3-pointers. It’s becoming hard to deny Clark is the most influential rookie in the league, but there are still several games remaining in the season for things to shuffle around.
