"Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark, just 22, has made history. The guard became the first WNBA rookie in 16 years to land on the All-WNBA first team, receiving a whopping 52 votes. She’s in great company, joining superstars like A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, and Alyssa Thomas. The last rookie to achieve this was Candace Parker in 2008.

Clark's stellar debut season set multiple WNBA records. She not only became the single-season assist record holder (337) but also recorded a triple-double, a feat never before achieved by a rookie. Plus, she made 122 three-pointers, another rookie record. Her 8.4 assists per game average is also a WNBA record!

With Clark's incredible play, the Fever qualified for the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Unfortunately, their journey ended early, eliminating them in the first round.

A’ja Wilson, the WNBA MVP, also made it to the first team. She had a fantastic season, averaging 26.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, and setting records for scoring and rebounding. Her team, Las Vegas Aces, fell short in the playoffs.

Breanna Stewart made the first team for the sixth straight time. She's faced some serious challenges off the court, like homophobic threats against her wife.

Meanwhile, Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones, and others made the second team. The All-WNBA teams are chosen by sportswriters and broadcasters at the end of the regular season."
