Caitlin Clark breaks another record in upset victory over Phoenix after Olympics lifeline

Caitlin Clark has set a new franchise record in the Indiana Fever's home win over the Phoenix Mercury, as she also became the first rookie in WNBA history to record 400 points, 150 assists and 100 rebounds.

The 22-year-old point guard put up 20 points and 13 assists, nine of which came in the first quarter alone, to break the Fever's record for most assists (seven) in a single quarter on Friday night in Indianapolis.

Guard Kelsey Mitchell and center Aliyah Boston also contributed to the team's 96-85 win with 28 and 21 points, respectively.

Indiana's upset over Phoenix may come as a surprise to many, considering that the Mercury have three players heading to the Paris 2024 Olympics -- guards Diana Taurasi and Kahleah Copper, along with center Brittney Griner.

Clark was handed an Olympics lifeline, Thursday, when it was revealed that Taurasi, 40, is struggling to recover from a leg injury in time for the Games, leaving the door open for the No. 1 overall draft pick to receive a shock late call-up to Team USA's women's basketball roster.
