Panini-exclusive Athlete Caitlin Clark Named 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year We’d be lying if we said we didn’t have “Caitlin Clark wins Rookie of the Year” on our bingo cards for the 2024 WNBA season. Given the way she completely demolished just about every record in her path, it was pretty much a guarantee her historic rookie campaign would end with the most coveted award amongst newcomers. The voters seemed to agree: Clark earned 66 of the 67 votes. All of the marks Clark broke in 2024 are almost too many to list. Not to worry, though: We’ll be sure to highlight all the extra impressive ones. She broke the league’s single-season assist record (337), the rookie record for 3-pointers (122) and scored the most points by a rookie (769), averaging 19.2 points. Her 19 assists against Dallas on July 17 set a WNBA record, and she became the first rookie in league history to record a triple-double when she notched 19 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds against New York on July 6. And she did it twice.
