Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark was named the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year, as announced by the league on Thursday.
Clark, the top pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, received 66 out of 67 votes from a national media panel. The remaining vote went to Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese, the No. 7 pick in the draft.
“I am incredibly honored to receive the Rookie of the Year award, but more importantly, I’m grateful for everyone who supported me this season — my family, friends, teammates, the Fever organization, and all of our fans. I’m so proud of what we achieved and excited about the future,” Clark said in a statement.
Clark averaged 19.2 points, a league-leading 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game. Along with Aliyah Boston, last year’s Rookie of the Year, Clark helped lead the Fever to their first postseason appearance since 2016. She led all rookies in points, assists, and was third in rebounds.
Her 337 assists set a new WNBA single-season record, and she set a single-game record with 19 assists against the Dallas Wings in July.
