Caitlin Clark reaches unwanted WNBA record in just 23 games

Caitlin Clark has proven to be a remarkable player. The point guard for the Indiana Fever is breaking several records, but she has now reached an unfortunate WNBA milestone that she certainly wouldn’t want to have.

Earlier this year, the Fever had the great opportunity to draft Caitlin Clark. Many basketball analysts believe she has the potential to become the greatest player in WNBA history, and she’s already making a strong case for it.

The former Iowa player has had an impressive individual season, significantly helping her team improve. However, she has also broken an unwanted record that no rookie would want to have on their resume.

Nevertheless, Clark’s gameplay is far from perfect. The point guard has struggled with several aspects of the game that she’s still adjusting to in the transition from college to professionalism , as the WNBA is very different from the NCAA.

During her 23rd game in the WNBA, the Indiana Fever suffered a close 84-89 defeat against the Washington Mystics. Besides this loss, Caitlin Clark broke an unwanted record for any rookie in the league.

In the defeat against Washington, Caitlin Clark committed five turnovers. With these, the point guard reached 127 turnovers this season, the most for a rookie in a single campaign since Mystics star Nikki McCray, who had 126 turnovers in 1998.
