Another WNBA record belongs to Caitlin Clark. The Indiana Fever guard broke the league's rookie 3-point record in Wednesday night's win over the Connecticut Sun. After hitting another major career milestone, the former Iowa star received a shoutout from legendary hooper Lisa Leslie.
Clark buried three triples in Wednesday's 84-80 victory over the Sun. That brought her season 3-point total up to 88.

She enjoyed a 13-year career in the WNBA, spending her entire career with the Los Angeles Sparks .
Over the course of her career, Leslie was an eight-time WNBA All-Star, a three-time league MVP, a two-time WNBA champion and two-time Finals MVP. Her No. 9 jersey has been retired by the Sparks.In just her first season in the WNBA, Clark has accomplished some incredible feats. She became the first rookie to ever record a triple-double and now owns the league's rookie single-season record for assists and 3-pointers made.
Clark is also a two-time WNBA Rookie of the Month and was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for Week 9. Records aside, Clark is hoping to help guide her team to a WNBA playoff appearance. With nine games remaining, Indiana sits at 15-16 on the season and is No. 7 in the standings.
