Caitlin Clark has broken several WNBA records in just three seasons in the league. It has been a common occurrence given her elite skill set and how good she has been as a pro. The Indiana Fever superstar was also involved in NBA history on Thursday.

Clark and Indiana reached the playoffs this past season. They qualified after finishing the regular season with a 28-16 record and clinched the No. 6 seed. The team faced the Las Vegas Aces in the first round and forced a winner-take-all Game 3 on Oct. 1. However, they failed to dethrone the then-defending champions, losing 94-83 at Michelob ULTRA Arena.

She became the first player in league history to finish in the top three in points and assists per game. Clark is also the first member of the 800/300 club. Her popularity continues to grow, helping the WNBA’s reach expand further.
