“Shoutout to the babysitter @caitlinclark22, First Team All WNBA (check emoji),” Samuelson wrote on her story.

Clark’s selection to the All-WNBA First Team was well earned, as the standout point guard delivered an electrifying performance in her rookie season.

Caitlin Clark on winning awards and breaking records

Caitlin Clark offered a modest response to being named to the All-WNBA First Team, expressing gratitude to the Indiana Fever for letting her play authentically. The young star emphasized that breaking records is a result of playing the game the right way rather than focusing on individual accolades.

“I mean, it’s not even something that you’re really ever aware of, you know, breaking records. It’s just something that comes with playing the game the right way,” Clark said in a video shared by the Indiana Fever on its official X (formerly Twitter) account.

“I just come out here and try to play basketball in a way that people love watching, the way that it is going to make my team successful and the records and whatever or the stats, that’s just what comes with it, but at the end of the day, I feel very thankful to be in a position and on a franchise that has really allowed me to really be myself and to come in here and try to uplift this team in every way that I can.”

Clark appeared in all 42 games for the Fever during the 2024 season, including both playoff games against the Connecticut Sun. She was the driving force behind Indiana’s long-awaited return to the playoffs, ending an eight-year drought.
